Al Sadr followers protest in Iraq Najaf City

Iraqi, Alsumaria TV Network reports on Al Sadr protesters in Najaf,

A source from Al Sadr’s office told Al Hayat Newspaper that the number of participants in the demonstration exceeds 500 protestors noting that US security forces have prevented some protestors from reaching Najaf while they arrested others.

While Sadr's representative blames US forces for preventing participation, I believe it is more reflective of Sadr's current lack of popularity.
