Iran: Workers Protest Amid Escalating Crises in Iraq, Syria, Lebanon

As the Iranian regime struggles with escalating crises in Iraq, Syria, and now Lebanon, they are under pressure as more workers protest inside Iran.

Employees of the Azarab factory in the city of Arak, western Iran, launched a peaceful demonstration on Sunday, Oct 20, 2019. They want to improve poor working conditions in their factory. These workers are protesting officials’ plots to privatize the company, their jobs remaining in limbo and resulting in poor living conditions.

Reports from the city of Arak, Iran, indicates that security forces attacked peaceful protesting Azarab workers. Riot police and security forces clashed with protesters in the factory. Police then used teargas against the protesters. The repressive forces attacked the people with batons and injured several workers.

A large number of injured AzarAb workers went to the hospital after being beaten by security forces. Reports indicate that security forces then went to the hospital to detain the injured workers, who were forced to leave the hospital untreated.
