"This is how al-Mutanabbi street looked like; a winding street filled with outdoor book-fair stalls. Poems and prose invaded its atmosphere until one day when Baghdad municipality raided the street and smashed all the book stalls with the support of military forces and without any prior warning. The municipality instigated huge losses and the people expressed sadness because they were used to this heritage for many years."
