IRAN: Municipal workers protest in Ahwaz

NCRI - protest in front of the municipality building in District 4 of Ahwaz, south-west Iran, demanding the release of their recently-detained colleagues.

During the protest, which was held on Wednesday, the workers claimed that no news has yet been released about the current condition of the detained workers.

One protester said: "After a one-day temporary detention at the police station, the detained workers were transferred to Sepidar Prison in Ahwaz on Tuesday (June 14)."

Iran insisting to turn women's veiling into political dilemma, why?

In any discussion on women's clothing and veiling, the first thing is to distinguish between the question of veiling and the Iranian regime's manipulation of this issue, turning it into a tool for suppression of women and subsequently the society in general.

Wearing clothes was an achievement of human civilization. It is a genuinely progressive social phenomenon, changing and evolving in accordance with cultural, economic, political and artistic development of human societies. Weather conditions, culture, type of job, social traditions, etc. have always had significant impact on defining the clothes people wear in any community.

Yearning for a world full of love, kindness and starts

Truly, what does our society need today?

I would love a world that the blueness of its sky is home to beautiful white clouds raining over the soil of my deprived country. A world where love and friendship fills the hearts of nations that have witnessed nothing but cruelty.

I want to see a world where we no longer witness the cries of two brothers weeping over the dead body of their kid sister killed in Aleppo as a result of vicious bombings by the Central dominion!!

I am dreaming of a day when poor boys selling flowers in Tehran’s streets are no longer insulted by passing drivers, a world where such innocent children are not forced to endure the hardship of helping their families make ends meet.
