Between roughly 05:16 and 06:43 this morning, channels tied to KSS, Nujaba and KH each reported a fifth consecutive day of a sit-in by wounded Popular Mobilization Forces personnel and families of the fallen outside the National Retirement Authority in Baghdad, over equal salary and pension treatment with Defence and Interior personnel. Sabereen News (KH — affiliated) went further than the others, reporting an attempt to disperse the demonstration by force with beatings, and then injuries among the protesters. No other supplied channel repeated the force and injury claims, and there is no outside coverage of them in the collected evidence.
