Iraqi Shiites take part in a mourning ritual in which a cleric retells the story of the seventh-century slaying of Prophet Mohammed's grandson Imam Hussein, during the month of Muharram leading up to the mourning day of Ashura, in the southern city of Basra, on August 14, 2021. The Shiite commemoration of Ashura consists of a ten-day mourning period starting on the first day of Muharram.
