\"Retirees-protest-Iran\"<\/p>\n

On Sunday, retirees and pensioners<\/a> of Iran\u2019s Social Security Organization held their 12th nationwide rallies in the last four months, once again underlining that \u201conly on the streets, we will get our rights.\u201d This slogan alone shows they consider the regime behind all their problems.<\/p>\n

They underlined is the regime\u2019s institutionalized corruption that has affected the financial situation of Iranians by chanting: \u201cour hands are empty, but you are in a good situation,\u201d and \u201cplunderers shame on you, leave our country.\u201d Iranian pensioners emphasized their resolution to continue their protests for obtaining their rights and not succumbing to the regime\u2019s threats by chanting, \u201cRetirees die, but will not be humiliated.\u201d<\/p>\n

Retirees held their protest on Sunday<\/a>, despite the regime\u2019s threats. The regime\u2019s security forces had threatened or gave hollow promises to retirees to not hold their protests under the pretext of protests coinciding with the regime\u2019s army day. But the regime failed in preventing retirees and pensioners from holding their rallies across Iran.<\/p>\n

The regime is unable to oppress these protests as it had done before. Due to the society\u2019s explosiveness, the clerical regime\u2019s oppression would have an opposite result and only intensifies protests.<\/p>\n
