They demanded to receive their wages and overtime dues. Nurses have held various protests in different cities across Iran because they do not receive their salaries and wages despite working under harsh and harmful conditions.Separately, a group of civil activists including a number of women activists went to the Department of Education of Shahriar to follow up on the situation of Mohammad Habibi. They said the department had rejected the request for granting him paid leave. The rejection is significant because the Department of Education can subsequently lay off Mohammad Habibi since his imprisonment has become lengthy.Imprisoned teacher Mohammad Habibi, was arrested for the second time on May 10, 2018, in the teachers\u2019 gathering on Teachers\u2019 Day in Iran. He has been sentenced to a total of 9 years in jail plus 74 lashes.
