Yesterday, a large group of people gathered in the city\u2019s Amir Kabir industrial district (renamed to Shapur) to protest against increasing prices, continuous power outage and the corrupt policies of the Iranian regime, including its costly meddling in neighboring countries. The merchants and retailers of this area have closed their shops and gone on strike. The people are chanting slogans that reflect the current economic woes: \u201cDeath to high prices.
