Maryam Rajavi Hailed Protesters in Tehran and Other Cities, Called on All Iranians to Support Them                                                    

She said, “The courageous chants in today’s demonstrations targeting the heads of the Judiciary and Executive Branch, as well as the suppressive State Security Force and intelligence forces, reflect the Iranian people’s desire for the overthrow of the mullahs’ religious dictatorship.”
Noting the chant “theft has become institutionalized under this regime,” Mrs. Rajavi added, “Institutionalized fraud along with institutionalized murder and belligerence constitute the pillars of the mullahs’ decadent regime. Ali Khamenei and his office hold the strings controlling all the depraved crimes taking place in the country. As long as this regime is in power, there will be no end to the astronomical embezzlement, poverty, unemployment and catastrophic economic conditions.”

Fellow Iranian workers,
Peddlers, drivers, porters,
Nurses, Carpet weavers,
Farmers,
Dismissed workers,
Millions of job-seeking men and women,
Fellow working men and women of Iran,

I would like to congratulate you on May 1, the International Workers' Day.
Felicitations on this day are not just meant to appreciate workers' suffering and fortitude, but to harbinger and recall the burning hope for a future that is free from repression and exploitation, a future that will be realized with the power of the deprived and oppressed workers, whose force is able to fight and bring about change.
On this occasion, I would like to salute and extend my warmest greetings to the thousands of courageous workers who staged protests last year and expressed their demand for toppling the mullahs' corrupt, oppressive and despotic rule.
I salute the workers who voiced their protest at the cost of their jobs and those who were flogged and imprisoned for doing so.
The mullahs' response to these righteous protests was more suppression and treachery for if they accept any of the workers' basic demands, they will have to reject the existence of their regime.
Iran's working class had never been so entangled in poverty, unemployment and disarray.

Iran: Workers' protest and strike in the city of Yazd

According to the paramilitary Basij force linked semi-official news agency in Iran, the Iranian regime's officials from different organizations and institutions have refrained to appear in front of demonstrating workers and people to answer their demands or to even respond to the needs of striking communities and sectors of the society. 

The chaotic and confused economic situation which has been the direct result of incalculable plunders by the regime officials, especially by government elites and the incompetency of the persons in charge have resulted in the closer of almost all industrial sectors and the soaring unemployment amongst workers. These workers are already living under the poverty line and once out of jobs their only source of income which would enable them to live would vanish. 

According to the news agency, the suffering people 'have so far taken part in many sit-ins and protest gatherings in front of the governor's office in the city of Yazd, central Iran. Among the protest gatherings in recent days, the chicken producing industry, truck drivers and company employees have been most noticeable. 

But the officials in the city of Yazd have refrained from appearing in person to answer their grievances despite calling themselves as labor supporters and those who defend the rights of workers. They didn't even bother to step out of their offices and to hear what those hundreds of people have to say.
