Iran, March 13, 2019
Tuesday became yet another day that people from all walks of life across Iran were expressing their demands in increasing protests.
Many workers in different sectors of the country’s economy are protesting long delays in receiving their paycheck. All the while, regime officials and their children are enriching themselves through embezzlement and corruption. Clients of the Caspian credit firm, known to be closely associated to the Revolutionary Guards (IRGC), rallied outside the offices of the Judiciary in Tehran, demanding
their stolen savings returned. Caspian is one of several state-backed credit institutions that have been at the heart of a government-run Ponzi scheme that has robbed billions of dollars out of the pockets of ordinary Iranians.
In Ahvaz, southwest Iran, a group of municipality workers rallied outside the town hall’s main entrance protesting their paychecks being delayed for the past six months.
In the city of Asaluyeh, southern Iran, employees of phase 12 in the South Pars gas field projects continued their strike for not receiving their paychecks for the past two months and pensions for the past two years.
In reports from Monday, students of the Khaje Nasiredeen University of Tehran held a rally on campus protesting officials’ neglect and refusal to respect their rights.
“We the students of Khaje Nasiredeen University announce today that enough is enough and neglect must come to an end. The students’ basic rights must be respected and we demand all our rights to be acknowledged,” their statement read in part.
The students have been complaining about the bad conditions of the university's facilities. Similar protests have taken place at universities in other cities, including Razi University in Kermanshah and the Science University of Mazandaran.
Iran is ruled by a dictatorship that spends all its wealth on terrorism and a domestic crackdown machine. The fact is that Iran is ruled by a corrupt government that has looted Iranian people’s property to extend its rule.
Iranian Human Rights Lawyer Sentenced To 38 Years In Jail, Lashes - Husband | Reuters-Jailed Iranian human rights lawyer Nasrin Sotoudeh has been sentenced to 38 years in prison and 148 lashes, her husband Reza Khandan wrote in a post on Facebook on Monday, without specifying what charges she faced.
