The Al-Habboubi Square attack occurred on 27 November 2020 as part of the 2019-2021 Iraqi protests. After finishing Friday prayers,[1] an armed group known as the Peace Companies attacked civil protesters at the Al-Habboubi Square in Nasiriyah, Iraq.[2] The attack left 4 civil protesters dead and 70 protesters injured.[3] The attack's alleged motive was to expel protesters from the area.[4] After the attack, Iraqi Prime Minister Mustafa Al-Kadhimi dismissed the police chief of the Dhi Qar Governorate, Major Hazim Mohammed Al-Waily.[5] A curfew was imposed in the city afterwards.
