Recalling that the mullahs\u2019 regime is incapable of ensuring the health protocols of its prisons, Mrs. Maryam Rajavi, the President-elect of the National Council of Resistance of Iran again called on the United Nations to take immediate action to stop the ongoing tragedy in prisons and to force the regime to release prisoners temporarily until the end of the pandemic. New Protest Reports from Various Parts of Iran People from various parts of Iran\u2019s society have been holding protests demanding their delayed paychecks and pensions. On Tuesday, the nationwide protest by workers in Iran&#039;s oil, natural gas and petrochemical industries and power plants continued for the eleventh consecutive day. A group of nurses from hospitals in Urmia, northwest Iran, gathered in front of the governor&#039;s office on Monday protesting the fact that their paychecks have been delayed for several months. Also, on Monday, contract workers of the Ahvaz Water and Sewage Company rallied outside the Khuzestan Water and Sewage Company building to protest paycheck delays.
