ISC (Student’s Committee in Iran) reports from Iran at the wake of Labor Day
Qom, April 20, 2010- To prevent protests by laborers at the wake of Labor Day Qom’s Governor Office has been distributing leaflets of laborers’ housing plan amongst Qom’s laborers this week to silence them with fake promises.
Also CD’s of Khomeini’s speeches is being distributed amongst them by The Islamic Organization of Propagation.
Sanandaj, April 20, 2010- On Saturday April 17 on seven pm suppressive regime’s agents beat, swore at and confiscated the goods of a street-seller at Sirus Intersection in Sanandaj.
During last week too a great number of these street-seller were harassed and their goods were confiscated.
These street sellers are unemployed laborers that have no other choice than selling goods in the streets for their leaving.
Instead of providing jobs and providing them with unemployment insurance the government harasses them and prevents their selling.
Qazvin, April 20, 2010- At 10.15 am on Friday April 9 a storage house of 14000 liters capacity of chemicals blasted at the Acid Reviving Section of Haft Almas Factory leading to death of a laborer Salman D. 30 years old. The reason of the blast is not known so far. This factory produced Iron and Steel galvanized sheets and is located in Qazvin-Karaj Highway.
It is to be mentioned that in comparison with other countries in the world Iran is far behind the international standards of different jobs and as the result a great number of laborers loose their lives daily.
Mashad 20, 2010- At the wake of Labor Day the Disciplinary Committees at Mashad’s universities including Ferdosi, Azad, Payame Noor as well as private universities are issuing heavy penalties for students with the intention of keeping them away from gathering in protest on Labor Day.

A great number of these employees believe the inadequacies in financial system, lack of interference of Budget and Planning Organization in this issue and weakness in management of Central and Meli Banks along with government’s severe deficiency in budget are the main reasons for this event.
