NCRI – On Saturday, June 11, truck drivers continued their protest and strike in Bushehr Terminals, southern Iran.

The regime’s police officers, at the behest of governmental agents, asked the truck drivers to end the rally. After that, they raided the crowd, beating and arresting about thirty of the drivers.

During the protest, one truck driver said: “We just want to address the problems of transport especially [fare and commission rates] …Nevertheless, we are brutally treated.”

A group of truckers at the port of Bushehr, southern Iran, went on strike on June 5 and have continued it since then. They have been protesting against the predatory and discriminatory policies in the distribution of loads formulated by the brokers affiliated with the mullahs’ regime.
