President hoped to give voters chance to decide on 8-hour work days and double pay for holiday work
IRAN’S communists have strongly condemned the theocratic regime’s “brutal clampdown” on women marking International Women’s Day in Tehran.
In an open letter to the country’s people, the Tudeh Party of Iran (TPI) slammed the raid by “the thugs and security forces of the despotic regime on the peaceful demonstration of the tireless women campaigners for equality in front of the Ministry of Labour on Thursday March 8, International Women’s Day.”
For Iran’s communists, the attack again revealed the “inhumane and misogynist nature of the reactionary theocratic regime before the public opinion of our nation and the world.”
