Workers' protest in Iran (File Photo)NCRI - More than 2,000 residents of Poonak district in west Tehran took to streets on Friday protesting to the regime's plundering polices.

Citizens from all walks of life such as workers, teachers and students took part in the demonstration. Shortly after the start of the move the State Security Forces (SSF) – mullahs' suppressive police – clashed with the crowd wounding some and arresting 10 others.

Members of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) Special Units were called in to contain the protests.

Street demonstrations as a form of protest to high inflation rates, lack of adequate housing, fuel rations, sky rocketing unemployment, especially among youths, are commonplace in Iran.

Workers are on the forefront of protests in recent weeks with Sugar Cane Factory workers in the southwestern city of Shoosh in their 4th week of strike over unpaid wages and salaries.

Next are students with protests from Tehran University to Polytechnic, Sahand in Tabriz, Teachers' Training School, Bo-Ali in Hamadan, Shiraz University in Shiraz and Zanjan University in Zanjan as well as many other higher education schools across the nation. 

They all say the same thing in different words that is an unrelenting desire for a regime change in Iran.
