Iran, June 1, 2018 - Tens of thousands of truck drivers across Iran continued a nationwide strike on Friday, marking its 11th consecutive day.
Truck drivers in Kermanshah and nearby
cities in western Iran, Mashhad, Najaf Abad, Aligudarz and many other
cities continued their protests on Friday. Beginning on May 22nd, the drivers have spread their initiative to over 280 cities despite a variety of plots launched by the Iranian regime to cause rifts among their ranks.
These measures include repressive actions aimed at breaking the drivers’ will.
In the city of Dorud, western Iran, authorities arrested numerous drivers unwilling to have their vehicles loaded with goods.
In Amir Abad, northern Iran, repressive forces arrested several drivers after attacking their protest rally site.
In Zarrin Shahr, central Iran, anti-riot
units took measures to disperse the drivers and truck owners protesting
in the city’s fruit terminal. The protesting drivers attacked the
regime’s units and forced them to flee the scene.
In Khorramdareh, northwest Iran, state
police units intended to strip the license plates of trucks belonging to
protesting truckers. The drivers resisted and forced the police to
retreat.
The protest drivers are demanding an
increase in their delivery rates, retirement pensions after 25 years of
work, their field of work classified as harsh and demanding for the
drivers, decrease in insurance fees, decrease in supplementary fees
including road tolls and commissions demanded by each official at
numerous terminals (all without any specific framework), decrease in the
price of spare parts, the resignation of the truck drivers/owners union
chief, and authorities to end their repressive measures against the
drivers.
In recent days Snap taxi drivers – an
agency affiliated to the Revolutionary Guards – also went on strike in
the cities of Tehran, Tabriz, Yazd, Shirvan, Isfahan, and Shira
