Large-scale demonstrations and labor strikes swept Iran on Tuesday as Iranians marked the anniversary of the 2019 "Bloody November" protests, when government forces killed as many as 1,500 protesters.
In November 2019, protests broke out after the Iranian government implemented a price hike on fuel prices. The Iranian government carried out a brutal crackdown on the protests, with the wave of demonstrations later called "Bloody November."
Protests were reported in Tehran, Shiraz, Marvdasht, Bukan, Tabriz, Izeh, Saqqez and Kermanshah, amid dozens of other towns and cities. Businesses and workers across the country also went on strike and protested in markets.
Iron workers in Tehran and Isfahan joined the strike on Tuesday, with video showing them gathering and chanting anti-government slogans.
Protesters chanted anti-government slogans while marching and dancing in the streets, including "Death to the dictator," "Basij, eat s&%$" and "Freedom, freedom, freedom," among others. READ MORE
