Liwa al-Karama (The Dignity Brigade) is a Shi'a militia operating in Iraq, based in Karbala and appearing to identify with the marja' [religious authority etc.] of Ayatollah Muhammad Taqi al-Modarresi. It also seems to have identified itself as part of the Martyr Sadr Forces Formations at some point, though the evidence generally suggests it uses its own distinct banners on the ground and is independent of them.
