Iran: Women actively engage in more protests Created: 20 October 2017 This month has been studded by protests to the state-backed companies in Iran which have looted people’s properties and deposits with women playing an active part in them. In Tehran, people whose deposits have been plundered by Padideh and Caspian institutes rallied at 7 pm, October 19, 2017, in Keshavarz Blvd. and chanted, “Citizens’ rights are gone, people are oppressed”, “Shame, shame, on the Judiciary.” In Ahwaz, capital of the oil-rich province of Khuzistan in southwest Iran, people protested against the government-backed Arman institute, by gathering at 5 pm in front of the governor’s office upon a previous call. The protesters got furious when they faced closed doors of the governor’s office and attempted to break them open, which forced the guards to open the doors.
