Demonstrators in the southern cities of Basra, Najaf and Karbala set alight tyres on major roads, blocking traffic from passing.

Over 350 people have been killed and thousands more wounded since the demonstrations - in protest at economic mismanagement - started at the beginning of October.
It's the largest grassroots protest movement in Iraq’s modern history.
