Around three hundred Shi'ite marched through the city for nearly three hours, complaining of neglect and discrimination from the Sunni government.
When the protestors began blocking roads, police were called out.
The protestors reacted to the police presence by throwing Molotov cocktails, to which the police responded to by opening fire.
Fourteen protestors were injured, and an unknown number were arrested.
One of the injured and arrested was Mohamed al-Shakhouri, one of the country's most wanted.
