NCRI – Following a major strike by Tehran’s transit workers on Monday, January 30, Iranians residing in various countries across the world staged rallies in solidarity with their demands and grievances.
The strike in Tehran was brutally suppressed and the families of strikers were taken to detention centers to force them to give up. Among detainees were girls as young as 12 who went through a horrifying experience.
Iranian-Canadians living in Toronto held a rally on Tuesday, January 31, to give their support to the strikers and show them that they are not alone in their struggle.
Protestors chanted, "Ahmadinejad is a terrorist," "we want peace and democracy," and "remove People’s Mojahedin from terror list."
They also gave their full support to the third option offered by Mrs. Maryam Rajavi, President-elect of the Iranian Resistance, which rejects the policy of appeasement of the mullahs and foreign military intervention in Iran and instead, calls for democratic change through Iranian people and their resistance.
John Clark of the "Coalition against Poverty" also joined the rally and gave his support to the struggle of Iranian people against the religious dictatorship in Iran. He also gave his backing to Mrs. Rajavi’s third option as the most viable solution to the problem of Iran.
