Iran rounds up teachers as protests gain momentum
Iranian teachers are joining in the protest movement against President Raisi's administration, but security forces are responding quickly to stop them.
Thousands of teachers rallied across Iran on Thursday to demand a decent life and call for the release of their colleagues, who are languishing in state-run prisons.
In most of the protests in the capital, Tehran, as well as in major cities including Ahvaz, Sari, Rasht, Sanandaj and Kermanshah, the teachers were surrounded by a palpable presence of riot police, according to videos posted on the official outlet run by the unionists.
