Iran Press News: Translation by Banafsheh Zand-Bonazzi
ISNA, a regime-run news agency reports that hundreds of protesting workers of the FARNAKH and MEHNAKH thread factory once again gathered in protest for continued non-receipt of their wages and on-going dereliction of management. The protest took place on Saturday, Oct. 8th and blocked the road between the towns of Qazveen and Shahreh San'ati. This is one of many protests coordinated by the workers of this factory.

The Special Disciplinary Forces for the Province of Qazveen abruptly and forcefully brought the protest to an end.
