On Monday, December 23, a large number of retirees staged a protest gathering in front of the regime’s Majlis (parliament) building in Tehran. Protesters carried placards, some of which read: “The answer to people’s demand is not prison and bullets” and “We will not rest until we obtain our rights.” They also carried pictures of some of the martyrs of the November nationwide uprising.
On the same day, in solidarity with the protest gathering of retirees, a large number of teachers protested in various cities, including Mashhad, Shiraz, Sanandaj, Safashahr (in Fars Province), Marivan and Saqqez. Some of the teachers carried placards that read “Imprisoned teachers must be released” and “Teachers don’t belong in prison.”
