NCRI - Members of the Tehran Bus Workers Union took part in a rally in central Tehran on Saturday on the eve of International Workers' Day demanding the release of labor activists from jail and their basic rights including decent wages.
The bus drivers and staff were joined by a large number of students in the rally. They raised banners which read: “Arrested workers must be freed,” "Unions are our inalienable right" and "A just (decent) wage is our inalienable right."
Minutes after they began their rally, suppressive state security forces attacked the gathering and confiscated the banners.
The mullahs’ regime is taking draconian measures to prevent workers in Iran from holding protests on International Workers' Day on May 1.
