Two people were killed on Sunday night in Baghdad when security forces opened fire on demonstrators in Tahrir Square.
The deaths are the first protest-related fatalities since Prime Minister Mustafa al-Kadhimi came to office.
He has launched an investigation and requested the results within 72 hours.
The incident came amid a surge in small scale demonstrations across southern Iraq calling for better services and electricity.
