Iran: demonstration in various cities

Retired educators demonstrate in various cities

Protesters chant: “Poverty line:$ 900; our salary: $300”
NCRI - On October 17 morning, thousands of retired educators in the cities of Tehran, Qazvin, Yazd, Isfahan and Mashhad staged demonstrations to demand homogenizing their salaries and receiving their deferred salaries.

In Tehran, more than 1300 protesters gathered outside Management and Planning Organization. Va’ez Mahdavi, the deputy of the Organization, tried to calm the protesters by saying lies, but the demonstrators pushed him out of the scene by chanting: “It’s a lie, it’s a lie” and “If we didn’t exist, you wouldn’t have been up there.” The demonstrators chanted, “teachers are awake, they hate discrimination”, and “Poverty line: 3 million; our salary: 1 million”. They carried banners displaying the amount of their salaries compared to the inflation rate. The demonstration was carried out despite the mullahs’ regime’s all efforts to prevent or postpone it.
