Iran: protests, strikes in Tehran


Bazar merchants in southern Tehran and storeowners of Toopkhane Square in the Iranian capital closed their stores for one hour on Saturday, January 23rd at 9:30 am. These storeowners were protesting extortion by the Iran Tax Organization and its inspectors.

Extortion and demanding unsubstantiated taxes is one of the inhumane and illegal methods used by Hassan Rouhani’s regime to provide for their expenses.
