HUGH LANNING says there is no path to peace without dismantling Israel’s control over Palestinian land, lives and resources
IRAN’S theocratic regime does not recognise trade unions, but teachers and educational workers have formed the nationwide Coordinating Council of Iranian Teachers’ Trade Associations (CCITTA) which has organised many protest actions, including petitions to the Iranian authorities and international organisations, sit-ins at schools, walkouts and rallies.
In yet another attempt to get their voices heard, thousands of teachers and educators gathered outside Iran’s parliament in Tehran and at education authority offices across the country on May 12.
These kind of actions have gained momentum in recent months and have met with violent suppression by the authorities. Teacher leaders and activists have lost their jobs and been arrested and imprisoned on baseless accusations, including “acting against national security.” The regime’s response on May 12 was no different.
