Various protests, rallies reported from Tehran and across Iran

INTV, 29 Sep 2013 – Students of Tehran University’s Technology School staged a gathering on Sunday morning outside the school’s main gate protesting the deteriorating hygiene and building conditions in the school.


A number of teachers in the town of Saghez in Iran’s Kurdistan Province staged a rally outside the town’s education department protesting the regime’s refusal to provide them their job benefits.


Residents of Irankhah village near the town of Saghez clashed with the regime’s repressive State Security Force unit. In these scuffles the regime’s agents arrested a number of the villagers and transferred them to the town of Saghez.


Parents of school children in the city of Diwandare in Kurdistan Province staged a gathering outside Dr. Hesabi High School, protesting the lack of classes and limited learning conditions.


A group of former soldiers maimed in the Iran-Iraq War (from 1980 to 1988) staged a gathering outside the regime’s Majlis (parliament) in Tehran. The protesters, most being in wheelchairs or walking with crutches, were angry of the regime’s refusal to provide their minimum medicine and medical services. According to the protesters during the past week two such people died for not receiving their medication in time.


At 8 am on Sunday morning a number of family members of political prisoners detained in Ghezel Hesar and Gohardasht prisons in the city of Karaj, west of Tehran, staged a rally outside the regime’s Ministry of Justice building. They protested the inhumane rulings of death sentences and heavy prison terms issued against their loved ones.


According to reports received from inside Iran, the regime’s henchmen in Gohardasht Prison in Karaj intended to transfer two Sunni Iranian prisoners – already sentenced to death – to Ghezel Hessar Prison. However, facing strong resistance from other prisoners the officials were forced to back down from this measure. The names of these two prisoners are Kave Veisi and Mokhtar Rahimi.
