On Monday, November 8, the parliament ratified a bill which guarantees more facilities and opportunities on the grounds of occupation, welfare, education and culture for the families of those killed in the Iran Iraq war and those wounded in the war of prisoners of war. According to this bill, all systems are obligated to pick at least 25 percent of their work force from the children of those killed in the war or wounded soldiers who have lost 50 percent or more of their body functions and prisoners of war with at least 5 years of prison experience. The children of those wounded in war that has lost 70 percent or more of their body functions are included in this bill. Article 28 of the Fifth Development Plan was the basis for this new bill. This article says that 100 percent of the medical bills of the Iranian regime’s mercenaries called ‘Isargaran’ and those under their sponsorship has to be paid in full, their expenses to build a 100 cubic meter residence has to be paid in full, they have to be excused from paying tuition to go to free universities and other non government centers and they have to be granted scholarships for Iranians or foreign universities. It has been years that the families of these mercenaries have enjoyed a special share in university admittance or shortened military service time or special discounts in social services. Despite all this, many Iranians say that the special shares and direct facilities and social and economical opportunities given to this group is unjust and a cause for problems in the society.
