Retirees and pensioners including a considerable number of women held their second nationwide protest on Wednesday, April 7, 2021, in Tehran and 24 other cities.
In addition to Tehran, Iranian retirees and protesters held their protests in the cities of Sari, Ahvaz, Urmia, Qazvin, Karaj, Rasht, Khorramabad, Kerman, Ardabil, Shush, Andimeshk, Shooshtar, Tabriz, Ilam, Arak, Yazd, Abadan, Khorramshahr, Dezful, Isfahan, Kermanshah, Bojnurd, Shahroud, and Shiraz outside the local social security offices.
The nationwide protests were against dire living conditions, low wages, and high prices.
The retirees condemned the entire clerical regime and chanted: We have heard too many lies, we will no longer vote;
We have not seen any justice, we will no longer vote;
The imprisoned retirees must be released;
Inflation, high prices, Rouhani must be held accountable;
Shame on the government;
We will not rest until we obtain our rights;
Our baskets are empty, enough of repression;
Parliament, Government, stop deceiving the people;
To overcome empty plates, we must take to the streets.

Iran retirees and pensioners hold 2nd nationwide protest
Pensioners in Karaj hold placard reading: With salaries of only 2.8 million Tomans when the poverty line is 10 million Tomans, retirees and pensioners are not able to pay for their living expenses.

ABOUT US

NCRI Women Committee

We work extensively with Iranian women outside the country and maintain a permanent contact with women inside Iran. The Women’s Committee is actively involved with many women’s rights organizations and NGO’s and the Iranian diaspora.
The committee is a major source of much of the information received from inside Iran with regards to women. Attending UN Human Rights Council meetings and other international or regional conferences on women’s issues and engaging in a relentless battle against the Iranian regime’s misogyny are part of the activities of members and associates of the committee.
