Teachers and workers protest in Tehran

SMCCDI (Information Service):
A group of teachers gathered, today, in front of the Islamic Parliament in order to protest against poor conditions and to request the fulfillment of empty promises made since years. They were joined by tens of workers of "Pakdasht Building Materials" who haven't received their salaries for the last five months.

The protesters blocked the streets giving to the parliament by making a peaceful sit in despite the injunctions and threats made by regime's security forces.

All accesses to the area were blocked by security forces in order to avoid more protesters to join the demonstrators.
