The labourer at the Neyshekar Haftapeh, Kaghaz Pars (paper Company), and Shushtar(Karoun) Cane factory, which produces sugar and paper and related products, say they haven\'t been paid for several months. They are also calling for better working conditions, syndicate, human and civil rights. The strike and protest has been arranged by Iran Unity party member in Kuzestan province who are developing The Iranian National Civil Resistance and Disobedience; fighting for: Human and civil rights. They were watched by security forces that reportedly videotaped the protest and arresting the several labourers and other civil right activists. Labourer chanted slogans against officials, as well as regime leadership and regimes mafia controlling economy of country as well as Revolutionary guard saying that \"a decent life\" was their \"absolute right,� Reports say Intelligence service Special Forces and Dezful revolutionary guard has threatened the labourer and said that their protest will be met with force.several were detained. Some of the leaders of the labourer told Iran Unity that they are looking after international and national Human right and amnesty international supports as it is not only the simple salary request!! It is protest against regime�s miss management and mafia of sugar business which is in the hand of few mollas and revolutionary guard and intelligence service. They say we will not stop our strike until we can get the syndicate base on international labourer law and labourer rights as well as international based Labourer law benefits and pending wages. They say all those are arrested should be freed immediately as per those are only civil right activists. The government has reacted by arresting a number of labourers and sentencing them to jail and whippings. Some of labourer groups in Iranian national oil company and ahvaz still company are starting support their colleagues at sugar company. Khuzestan province is one of the reachest region of southwest of Iran; most of major Oil and gas and sugar and steel production are based in this region.

Haft Tapeh workers deserve their rights. Syndicate is a basic right for any worker. Stop the intimidation.

Why are they arresting workers for asking for their own money? This is a disgrace.

The IRGC needs to stop bullying the laborers. It is our absolute right to demand a decent life and get paid for our work.

Praying for the workers. They have families to feed and months of unpaid wages is just human cruelty. Stay strong!

Enough is enough. These people just want to be paid for their hard labor. The corruption in the sugar industry is absolutely shameful.
