Further protests outside Iran regime’s parliament, rallies held in Rasht and Mashhad

 According to reports received from Tehran, from 8 am on Tuesday, August 9, 2016, preschool teachers continued their third day of rally in front of the Iranian regime’s Majlis, or Parliament.

Protesters participating in the rally came from different cities and called for determination of their employment status.

The protests follow more than five years delay by the clerical regime in responding to the teachers’ demands. The regime has each time refused to respond to the usurped rights of teachers and has instead threatened them or acted to expel or suppress them.

Separately in Mashhad, north-east Iran, from 10 am on Tuesday, August 9, 2016, a group of financial victims of the state-affiliated Pardissian Company rallied in front of the state-run Khorasan newspaper affiliated to the regime’s Astan Qods conglomerate in Mashhad Sadoughi Street.

They protested the lack of coverage by this newspaper about their issues.

The city of Rasht in northern Iran also saw a protest rally of Chuka employees in front of the entrance gate of the company.

Demonstrating workers carried banners reading “Respect workers' rights" and called for an immediate resolution to their excruciating circumstances.

Chuka Company has been closed down for several months under the pretext of repairs and the salaries of workers have not been paid. The protest surpassed its second day.
