IRAN: Strike, Protest in Isfahan
Beginning
this morning, Tuesday, July 31, truck drivers and owners as well as large group
of people and youth in the city of Isfahan have been staging a protest against
spiraling high prices, repeated power outages and inhuman policies of the
clerical regime in the city’s Amirkabir (now called new Shapour) industrial
district. They subsequently marched toward the city’s main streets.
Shop
keepers have stopped work and all shops are shut down. Enraged over the runaway
inflation, high prices, corruption and repression, the crowd were chanting:
“Death to high prices, death to unemployment,” “death to the dictator,”
“dignified Shapouris, support us, support us,” “dignified Iranians, support us,
support us,” and “incompetent officials, resign, resign.”
Referring
to the regime’s hollow promises, they are chanting “these are all lies.” The
city’s industrial workers are taking parts in the demonstration by carrying a
placard protesting against high prices and terrible living conditions.
A large
group of repressive forces and anti-riot units have been stationed on the scene
and on different streets to disperse the crowd and prevent its expansion.
