Iran: Firefighters arrested not using hot water canons against protesting workers PDF Print E-mail
Wednesday, 16 April 2008

Sample ImageNCRI - Six firefighters have been jailed for more than 48 hours in Ahmadabad Detention Center, according to the Resistance sources in Iran.

They were arrested for refusing to quell a labor demonstration using hot water canons at Kiyan Tire Factory (Alborz) in suburban Tehran, Iran's capital. In a move of sympathy with the striking workers, the firemen discharged the hot water on the street.

The Iranian regime will not tolerate mutiny of any kind within the ranks of government employees.
 
Last Saturday, workers walked out at Kiyan Tire Factory. They burned used tires to block the highway between Tehran and Islamshahr, a western suburb of the capital, to draw commuters' attention traveling to Tehran. Striking workers have not been paid off in the past few months.
