NCRI – The suppressive agents of the State Security Forces attacked “Shohaday-e Saypa” technical school in Qalam Street of Karaj arresting two teachers at 11:00am on Tuesday. They were charged with planning to organize a strike on behalf of part time teachers. They were taken to undisclosed location.
The employees and teachers of the educational establishment in Iran have been suffering from deteriorating living conditions and discriminatory policies imposed by the ruling mullahs over the past three decades. The employment of part time teachers is even more devastating.
The mullahs’ regime has refused to fulfill its promises to grant employment benefits including health insurance and housing to those employees who have worked for over 10 years.
Ms. Soheila Sadegh, Chair of the Education Committee of the National Council of Resistance of Iran, urged all human rights organizations and teachers and labor unions around the world to support the legitimate demands of teachers in Iran.
