Iranian Citizens Hold Eight Protests on December 22
On Tuesday, December 22, Iranian citizens from different walks of life held at least eight rallies, protesting the government and government-linked employers. In such circumstances, the government tries to silence any opposition under the excuse of Covid-19 protocols.
Furthermore, economic pressures prompted impoverished citizens to express their complaints and dissents about systematic plunder and corruption. The continuation of these moves shows the depth of Iranians’ hardship while they cannot ignore them despite the health risks.

The harsh living conditions of Iranian workers under the mullahs’ rule
Late last year, the Iranian regime inflicted bitter conditions on workers, which laid the groundwork for the current more bitter condition. The regime’s so-called Supreme Council of Labor held a meeting without presence of even regime-appointed representatives of the workers, in which the government representative and the employers as parties to the meeting agreed not to increase the workers’ wages by more than 15 percent. The regime claimed that it will not allow inflation to increase by more than 20 percent.
