The Iran Free Workers Union issued a statement on February 11th regarding the repressive drills held by the Iranian regime aiming to confront labor protests across the country.

The statement reads in part:

“As threats, intimidations, arrests, imprisonment and even killings have to this day failed to stop the will of us, workers, in seeking a better life worthy of the 21st century, no ‘Fajr’ military drill by ‘Beit al-Moghadass’ battalions, nor dispatching waves of battalions and divisions to oppress workers in their factories and labor centers will be able to divert us from demanding our human rights.”
