Sporadic clashes have happened following the celebration of the International Workers Day in several Iranian cities and especially in Tehran where workers were attacked by anti-riot and plainclothes agents.

The workers along with teachers, collective bus drivers and students were shouting slogans protesting against their conditions in the Taleghani avenue and in front of several official premises, such as, the Ministry of Employment, the Office of Social Security and the occupied Office of Bus Drivers when attacked.

Some slogans were calling for the resignation of the Minister of Employment and other for the immediate release of arrested workers and bus drivers.

Several protesters have been injured or arrested.

Italian version

Scontri durante manifestazione primo maggio

Scontri sporadici si sono verificati in alcune città iraniane, e sopratutto a Teheran, in seguito all'aggressione perpetrata dalla polizia e dagli agenti islamisti in borghese contro gruppi di lavoratori che festeggiavano la festa del lavoro.

I lavoratori, composti da insegnanti, autisti dell'azienda pubblica trasporti ed anche studenti, stavano gridando slogan contro le pessime  condizioni di lavoro quando sono stati aggrediti.

Alcuni slogan hanno chiesto le dimissioni del ministro del lavoro e la liberazione dei lavoratori e dei manifestanti detenuti in precedenti scioperi.

Alcuni manifestanti sono stati feriti o arrestati.
