Protesting teachers held signs reading:<\/p>\n
We heard promises, we did not see justice.
\nWe stand together until victory.
\nPrison is no place for a teacher.
\nWe do not tolerate all this oppression and discrimination.
\nThe imprisoned teachers must be released.
\nJust education for the country’s students.
\nSeeking rights is not a crime.<\/p>\n
On December 15, 2021, the clerical regime\u2019s parliament drafted a bill entitled teacher\u2019s \u201cTeachers Ranking,\u201d which, even if implemented, would not have met the minimum demands of teachers. The teachers described the bill as a dagger to the ranking bill and vowed to continue their protests.<\/p>\n
On December 23, 2021 teachers and educators rallied in more than 100 cities across Iran to protest the clerical regime\u2019s oppressive policies and the parliament\u2019s adoption of the bill.<\/p>\n
The protests continue despite intimidations by the regime that included describing their rallies as a \u201csecurity threat\u201d and that are being carried away and controlled by the \u201cenemies of the state\u201d to pave the way for more suppression.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
