The UK Representative of the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI), Dowlat Nowrouzi, addressed the recent popular protests in Iran during an online Q&A session on Tuesday, May 12. In her remarks, Ms. Nowrouzi highlighted the recent protests by two major sections of the Iranian society: Teachers and laborers.
“The country is in turmoil and during the last month Iran has witnessed major protests by teachers and workers calling for higher salary, better living conditions, an end to the rampant corruption in the country but also the right to freedom of assembly and expression as well as the release of imprisoned colleagues.
