Thousands of employees and retires from all walks of life, including teachers, nurses, employees of various government institutions, factory workers and steel industry workers, joined by individuals whose deposits have been plundered by state-run financial institutions, staged rallies outside the Iranian regime\u2019s parliament in Tehran.<\/p>\n
The demonstrators gathered in Tehran from cities across Iran, including the provinces of Tehran, Alborz, Central, Isfahan, Mazandaran, Khorasan Razavi, North and South Khorasan and Khuzistan.<\/p>\n
The rally was held despite closure of the metro leading to the parliament on Sunday morning by authorities and dispatch of a large group of anti-riot forces to prevent the formation of any protest rally.<\/p>\n
\u201cNo nation has seen such injustice,\u201d \u201cShout, shout all this injustice,\u201d \u201cRouhani, Rouhani, shame on you, start thinking about us,\u201d \u201cNo management, no hope, it\u2019s all lies and forgery,\u201d \u201cRelease all detained teachers,\u201d \u201cRelease all jailed workers,\u201d \u201cIt\u2019s all grief today, retirement pensions stolen by mullahs,\u201d \u201cWon\u2019t rest until our rights are realized,\u201d \u201cIt\u2019s all grief today, a worker\u2019s life is destroyed,\u201d they chanted.<\/p>\n
The demonstrators also chanted \u201cDecent living conditions and a home is our right,\u201d demanding their unpaid wages. Millions of deprived retired Iranians, and their families, are desperately attempting to make ends meet with retirement pensions worth one million tomans (around $285) a month. The Iranian regime has set the poverty line as close to four million tomans (around $1,150) a month.<\/p>\n
As security measures increased, the protesters chanted, \u201cHey police, go catch the thieves.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Iranian Resistance calls on all Iranians, especially the youths, to support their deprived fellow countrymen protesting poor living conditions.<\/p>\n
