Since September 22, the new law went into effect forcing the merchants to pay extra taxes on all of their profits. <\/p>\n<p>The jewelers set the precedence for other merchants to follow suit. Shoe sellers, textile, home appliances and other shopkeepers are closing down in support of the jewelers. <\/p>\n<p>In the tourist attraction Naqsh-e-Jahan bazaar many businesses were closed on Monday. <\/p>\n<p>In some cases, the State Security Forces (SSF)&mdash;mullahs&#039; suppressive police&mdash; succeeded in forcing the shopkeepers to open. However, once they found the opportunity closed their businesses and went home for the day avoiding running into the security forces. <\/p>\n<p>The strike spread to other cities yesterday, the main market in the western city of Qazvin was closed for a few hours on Monday. <br \/>&nbsp;
