As economic problems deepen in Iran, protests from all walks of life continue across the country. Iranians consider the regime\u2019s wrong policies and corruption as the real reason for their problems.<\/p>\n

On Sunday, retirees and pensioners<\/a> of Iran\u2019s Social Security Organization held their nationwide rallies, protesting harsh living conditions, the regime\u2019s inaction to solve their problems, and called for boycotting the mullahs\u2019 sham presidential elections. Retirees held their protests despite the regime\u2019s attempts to intimidate them.<\/p>\n

In Tehran, protesters marched from the Social Security Organization to the Shademan subway, chanting, \u201cWe will no longer vote because we have not seen any justice.\u201d<\/p>\n

Parliament, government enough lying to the nation,\u201d \u201cGovernment betrays, parliament supports,\u201d \u201cWe will not vote anymore, we have heard enough lies,\u201d \u201cWe will not rest until we obtain our rights,\u201d and \u201cOnly by taking to the street we can obtain our rights.\u201d<\/p>\n

On Monday, farmers in Ziar city in Isfahan province held a protest, demanding their right to water irrigation. The protesting farmers blocked the road by using their vehicles and setting fire to tires.<\/p>\n

In a similar development, farmers in Vajjareh village held a rally demanding their rights to water irrigation. A woman in this gathering said: \u201cYou have violated our right and yet prosecute us. You have taken our right to water irrigation for years. You speak of Islam publicly but violate people\u2019s rights. You plunder the rights of orphans and widows who gave all their earnings of carpet weaving to get their right to water irrigation. Yet, you took away the water and sold it in other cities.\u201d<\/p>\n
