Even after a year and despite extensive domestic and international demands, the clerical regime continues to refrain from announcing the number and names of the martyrs, how they were killed and where they are buried.

In the city of Mahshahr workers in repair units of the Fanavaran Petrochemical Company in the Petrochemical Special Economic Zone went on strike protesting low wages and inequality in job bonuses. Workers of the West Alborz Coal Mine in Alborz Province held a rally in front of the mine and demanded officials to resolve the ongoing problems of this mine and reopening it so they can return to work.
