Iran continuous protests, no sign of giving up
Because of the deterioration of human rights and worsening the economic condition, Iran continuous protests hit Iran and the regime is ramping up its suppressive measures to prevent its overthrow by the Iranian people.
But the will of Iranian, from all walk of life, students, teachers, workers, merchants and every other community in Iran can’t be suppressed. The Iranian people are determined to keep alive Iran continuous protests until achieving their fundamental rights, no matter how hard the regime’s suppression is.
The latest Iran continuous protests:
On Oct. 30, 2018, various posts on official outlets and social media networks indicated numerous groups of rail workers going on strike. The protesting workers issued a statement saying:
“We have not received our demands and pensions at a time when we are facing an increase in prices of ordinary goods on a daily basis and we literally lack the ability to provide for our basic needs.”
In a shocking heinous act, the Iranian Regime sentenced 15 workers at the Heavy Equipment Production Company (HEPCO) in Arak City, to prison and flogging for taking part in peaceful protests to demand their unpaid wages.
Each HEPCO worker was sentenced to one to two years in prison and 74 lashes for “disrupting public order” and “instigating workers via the internet to demonstrate and riot, according to the ILNA state-run News Agency.
Earlier this month, a court in Qazvin Province had called for 17 striking truck drivers to face the death penalty, something strongly condemned by labor unions, including the International Transport Federation (ITF).
Last week, in another outstanding event, the clerical regime showed fear of Iran continuous protests on Cyrus the Great Day, a national occasion.
To prevent people from gathering at Pasargadae, the tomb of Cyrus the Great, the Iranian regime dispatched security forces and took deterrence measures.
In addition to the police and secret police, the Revolutionary Guards were on alert in Fars Province and nearby cities.
Despite suppressive measures by the mullahs’ regime, throngs of people from Iranian cities and provinces flocked to Pasargadae. Some people moved toward Pasargadae by foot via alternative routes.
More than 25 centuries ago, Cyrus the Great declared freedom of religion and faith and also guaranteed freedom for all, the subjects which are totally against fundamentalist Mullahs’ thought.
University protests:
Students of Tehran’s Teachers University marched and rallied on Sunday, protesting privatization policies on their campus.
