The plight of the TCBC employees continues

SMCCDI (Information Service):
Tens more of employees of the "Tehran's Collective Bus Company" (TCBC) have been arrested, in the last two nights, by the Islamic regime's Intelligence and Plainclothes' agents. These arrests are made often brutally during late night.

The streets get blocked by special cars and a commando rushes to the home of the subject to be arrested. Employees showing resistance are beaten and injured before being arrested. READ MORE

Some of the arrested are in need of medical care but the Islamic regime is avoiding giving them the necessary care in order to pressure their colleagues. One of the first arrested has had his tongue partially cut with a knife used by the brutal appointed head of the so-called Islamic TCBC Union.

Some TCBC employees' wives have been taken as hostage in order to force their husbands to give up themselves.

Those arrested are transferred to the sections 240 and 209 of the infamous Evin prison which are already over crowded, following the arbitrary arrests made last Saturday’s after the brutal crackdown on strikers. The inmates qualified as "Security problem" are being questioned several times in a rotating pattern and some are pressured in order to sign false confessions on links with foreign power.

The regime hopes to break the will of their colleagues who have declared staying home on Friday.
