Security forces wound protesters in northern Iran

October 31, 2005

Islamic republic's security forces attacked and wounded,
this morning, tens of protesters in the northern City of
Babolsar located by the Caspian sea. The protesters were
hundreds of workers of the "Alborz Carpeting Company" and
their family members who were demonstrating against their
poor conditions and the non-payment of their wages for the
last eight months.

Clubs, chains and tear gas were used against them as they
tried to reach the Governor's Office.

Several public buildings and materials were damaged in
retaliation and the angry demonstrators shouted slogans
against the regime and its leadership.

Several of them were arrested by the official security
forces and the repressive Bassij militia.

The situation is very tense in this usually peaceful
seasonal touristic city where the carpeting company was a
day one of its most important industrial entities.
