City Hall agents raided a fruit-stand vending shop belonging to a 15-year-old boy on Tuesday, April 7th on Taleghani Ave.
The vender, Abolfazl Cheraghi, is the son of Ali Cheraghi, the deprive worker who was killed by the same city hall agents on August 14th of last year after he was severely beaten. The city hall agents whose job was to dismantle vending shop under the pretext of blocking pathways, attempted to disrupt his business by flipping his cart over, but found themselves facing a group of local shop owners and residents who new the boy’s father and were angry at what had happened to him. The frightened agents fled leaving their camera behind fearing backlash and reprisal from the local people.
Cherghi family say despite many promises made to them by the government to provide them with financial support following the death of their father, nothing has been done and all the promises have been just word on paper. The family claims that Abolfazl is now the breadwinner of the family which includes his mother and three sisters and a younger brother who has skipped high school to help his brother make money to pay for their family.
