The Secretariat of the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI<\/a>) issued a statement <\/a>on Sunday (May 9th) regarding nationwide protests by retirees and students across the country. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The text of the statement is as follows:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Despite the clerical regime\u2019s repressive measures, on Sunday, May 9, 2021, retirees <\/a>and social security pensioners in Tehran and 12 other cities took to the streets again protesting against the unbearable living conditions and the below-poverty line salaries. In Tehran, repressive forces and plainclothes agents gathered in front of the Social Security Organization to prevent the formation of the retirees\u2019 protest rally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition to Tehran, retirees and pensioners gathered outside social security offices in Borujerd, Karaj, Tabriz, Mashhad, Rasht, Khorramabad, Sanandaj, Isfahan, Kermanshah, Shiraz, Shush, and Marand. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
