IRAN TEACHERS STRIKE UPDATE
From the International Labour Solidarity Committee of the Worker-communist Party of Iran.

Iran’s teachers stage another strike
According to a WPI report from Iran today, Tehran’s secondary school teachers were on strike in the capital’s Education Districts 5, 6, 15, 16, 17 and 18. In District 5 around 800 teachers assembled for several hours outside the education offices from around 11 o’clock local time.
Meanwhile the government’s intimidation of the teachers has continued. The Education Ministry has asked for the submission of the names of two teachers in any school that has gone on strike. 45 teachers are reported to have been arrested in the cities of Ardebil and Hamedan in north-west Iran.
Today’s action was called by the “Co-ordinating Council of All-Iran Teachers’ Trade Organisations” (an umbrella organisation for ‘Teachers’ Trade Centres’ in various cities and regions), who have announced further actions for 2nd and 8th May.
Further details of today’s strike in our next Update.
