VOICED : Las sangrientas protestas en Irak entran en su tercera semana

The transcript discusses the third week of anti-government protests in Iraq, focusing on Baghdad and other cities. Despite violence and nearly 300 deaths, protesters continue to gather, particularly in Tahrir Square. Security forces attempt to disperse them, especially around key bridges over the Tigris River, which are strategic for reaching government and embassy buildings. The protests are driven by unemployment and political corruption, marking Iraq's biggest crisis since Saddam Hussein's fall in 2003.
