Iran: 410 anti-government protests in one month

Although the Iranian regime has hanged 47 prisoners and released the death sentence verdicts for 27 more prisoners and arrested thousands in Tehran and other cities and sent them to prisons during Iranian month of Ordibehesht (April 20-May 20), yet it couldn’t quell the protests. The records show that various sectors of the Iranian society staged more than 410 protest moves in different cities in the form of strikes, sit-ins, gatherings or clashes.
The students held 114 anti-government strikes, gatherings, and sit-ins in universities. The slogans of the students were mainly “Death to Dictator”, ”death to fascist”, ” Either Freedom or Death”.

The Iranian workers held more than 90 strikes, sit-ins and gatherings during last month; their protests were aimed at taking back their rights form the mullahs. Despite banning demonstrations across Iran on May Day and suppressive measures to prevent any demonstration in that day, thousands of workers demonstrated across Iran such as the demonstration of 2,000 workers in Laleh Park in Tehran which was attacked by the State Security Force. In this attack more than 150 workers were arrested.

The teachers have organized and held more than 100 protest moves. The widespread strike of teachers during the first week of May led to the closure of schools across Iran. The cross- country strike of the teachers took place at a time that the mullahs’ regime planned to prevent it by manipulating its security and intelligence agents extensively.

Other sectors of the society also staged more than 100 anti-government moves across Iran during the same period.
