PMU official Ali Al-Husseini said in a video that was uploaded to the Internet on January 15, 2020, that at the million-man counter-demonstration against the anti-government demonstrations in Iraq and against the presence of U.S. forces in Iraq, which is planned to take place on January 17, the PMU will shut down and eliminate the anti-government protesters’ “squares” of prostitution, humiliation, “Joker” gangs, and abasement with the power of God, the power of the Prophet Muhammad’s family, the power of the mujahideen, and the power of the resistance axis. He said that Iraq is not a country for espionage or for collaborators, “Jokers”, or homosexuals.
Following are excerpts:
Ali Al-Husseini: If God so wills it, we will shut down [the anti-government protesters’] squares of prostitution, humiliation, Joker [gangs], spies, scandal, and abasement. Our square is the square of resistance, heroes, mujahideen, and rejection of the occupiers. Inshallah, we shall eliminate them and drive them out of Iraq, by the power of God, the Prophet’s family, the mujahideen, and the resistance axis.

Iraq is not a country for collaboration, espionage, Joker [gangs], or homosexuals. Every day, I hear you call people filthy. You are the filthy ones! Your families are filthy. filthy. You are the filthy ones! Your families are filthy. You were brought up in filth. You were brought up in the streets by the Baath [party], by its female comrades, and by the filthy and accursed pro-Saddam Baathists. Inshallah, when we go to the squares for our million-man demonstration, we will end all this.
