Workers gathered in front of the regime’s governorate in Ahvaz, broke the blockade of repressive forces and rallied in the streets of Ahvaz. The workers chanted as they were accompanied by a group of Ahvazi youth: “We stand, we die, we get our rights; the worker dies; he does not accept humiliation; our enemy is here, they claim falsely that it is the United States; government, Mafia, happy marriage! “
At the same time, brave workers of the Haft Tappeh sugar cane mill continued their strike on the twenty-second day and rallied in the city of Shush. They chanted: “The worker dies; he does not accept humiliation; death to the oppressor, greetings to the worker; imprisoned worker must be freed; Steel, Haft Tappeh, unity, unity! “
