The 24-year-old works as a nurse in a hospital in Iraq’s capital during the week, and volunteers at its main protest site at weekends. She said her brother initially supported her decision to look after people taking part in the wave of anti-government protests that have raged across Iraq since Oct. 1. “He was proud that his sister was a medic in Tahrir,” she told Reuters.
Some politicians and influential clerics have been outraged by the sight of young women out in public during the demonstrations in Baghdad and across the impoverished Shi’ite Muslim south.
