Monday, July 13th witnessed more protest rallies staged by hundreds of nurses in cities across Iran, including Mahabad in western Iran where nurses protested policies adopted by Hassan Rouhani’s Health Ministry.

These protests in recent days have spread to Tehran, Karaj, Rasht, Zanjan, Ardebil, Urumieh, Tabriz, Kermanshah, Sanandaj, Hamedan, Sahne, Malayer, Mahabad, Khoram Abad, Borujerd, Dezful, Andimeshk, Yasuj, Behbahan, Shiraz, Kerman, Yazd, Mashhad, Bojnurd, Sari, Nour, Amol, Babol, Yasuj, Chalus, Semnan and Shahr-e Kurd in dozens of hospital. Reports indicate these protests resemble similar uprisings held by nurses back in March in Tehran and dozens of other cities.

On reports regarding labor protests, in an attempt to cement a climate of fear and bring an end to these protests regime officials arrested seven more workers in Kerman’s copper mine. Despite all these measures and threats the fed-up workers are continuing their assemblies and blocking the road leading to the company.

In Urumieh, a group of cement factory workers rallied and protested a decision made by factory officials of expelling a number of workers. This rally was held on Sunday, July 12th.
