International Workers’ Day – No. 16
NCRI – According to reports obtained from inside the Iranian regime, at least 48 people have been arrested as a result of protest gatherings and clashes between the regime’s security forces and the courageous workers and youths in front of the Ministry of Labor in Tehran.
At about 16:00 local time, a man aged between 30 and 35 was arrested at Behboudi Street. He was carrying a placard that read, “Workers: Recognize that a right must be taken; What is just will survive and what is unjust will vanish.” Anyone carrying a camera or cell phone was brutally suppressed. A number of them were detained. The detainees were then taken inside the Labor Ministry as well as to police stations no. 108 and no. 118.
The clerical regime also used a number of helicopters hovering over central parts of Tehran, including Azadi, Enqelab, and Sattar Khan, to identify gathering locations of protestors.
