People's Fedayee Guerrillas

Thousands of teachers in Tehran, in an unprecedented gathering, protested in front of the reactionary parliament of the Islamic regime of Iran. Many workers accompanied the teachers to support their just demands, which included demands for the right to have an independent teacher association of Iran. The teachers shouted “teachers, students and workers unite, unite.”

Even though the Interior Ministry of the regime refused to permit the protest, as the teachers requested, courageous teachers from various cities around Iran gathered with their colleagues in Tehran to march from the parliament to Tehran University. The teachers shouted that they did not believe that there was any bit of honesty within the regime. When Faheemeh Haghighatjo, a member of parliament, attempted to speak to them, the crowd stopped her and asked her to first shown them her pay check, and shouted “no nation has seen such a shameless parliament.” One brave teacher, addressing the protesters said, “I am not afraid to die. I would rather die with honor than live in misery. ”

IranMehr.ORG is a Constitutionalist publication favoring Democracy. This page is posted on the principal of "Freedom of expression" and "Today only Unity" against Islamic Republic. This is not an endorsement for terrorism; terrorist organizations and those affiliated with Iraqi regime's "National Council of Resistance".

These hardworking and brave teachers risked their own safety and security by ignoring the regime’s attempt to silence them. Their integrity and courage proves how strongly they feel about the lies, injustice, and oppression of the Islamic regime.

The Organization of Iranian People Fadaee Guerrillas fully supports the just and reasonable demands of our teachers and demand unconditional freedom for teachers who were arrested during their gathering. We ask all human rights organizations and groups to defend the rights of teachers in Iran.

We call on all students and workers to join with and defend the struggle of the teachers in Iran.
