Bazaar strike-No.9
NCRI – In the third week of protests in Tehran Bazaar, Farvardin shopping center, the most important market for gold and jewelry in Tehran and other cities, was closed down and on all out strike on Saturday morning July 17. Further, the bazaar near Sabz-e Meidan Square was also half-closed.
Carpet sellers in Rahimia Bazaar, most of whom are sellers of carpets for export, were on complete strike. The shops in Akbarieh, Vazir, Park, Mojtabaii, Yameen and Azad passages were also on full strike.
On Friday, despite weekend holiday where shops are closed, the clerical regime, fearful of solidarity of the populous with the Bazaar strike, stationed thirty-five vehicles of suppressive State Security Force and intelligence forces in Sabz-e-Meidan Square. State Security Forces also patrolled the whole Bazaar.
