NCRI – 35 nurses working for public hospitals were fired over so-called "mal-veiling" in the work environment in Tehran, according to human rights and democracy activists on Monday.
35 nurses working for One Thousand Bed Hospital (Khomeini Hospital) were suddenly fired by Tehran University's medical center which runs the facility. The medical school called in these nurses just to inform them that they have lost their jobs because of what they wore in the work place.
Simultaneous with the firing of the nurses, the mullahs' regime announced a 25 percent job allocation in the state hospitals for members of paramilitary Bassij force (a subsidiary of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC)).
Such actions explain the main reason behind firing of the 35 nurses.
In August 2008, six hundred nurses demonstrated over their unpaid salaries in past six months outside Sadouqi's medical center in the central city of Yazd.
