For the past four days, workers in Iron Cast Pipe Manufacturing have been holding gatherings to protest against a ten-month delay in wage payments. Demonstrations and walk-outs have been held in the Naderi intersection, and on 30 Meter and Taleghani streets in the city of Ahvaz. While in earlier days security guards had kept their distance from the demonstrators, today, guards asked the workers to end their protest and scatter.
When workers refused to end their protest, guards began raiding the line of protesting workers and, using violence, dispersed the protestors, resulting in the injury of a number of workers and the detention of at least 50 workers.
There is no further information regarding the detained workers.
