Khazar cement drivers on strike & factory closes
According to Harana the strike by the drivers of Khazar Cement Factory led to the closing of this factory. This factory is one of Iran’s largest cement producing units throughout the country and runs under the supervision of the regime's provincial office in Gilan Province. This factory stopped its production over two weeks ago.
This strike was staged in protest to the rates announced by the regime’s governorate office. Based on this report, the factory lacks the facilities to store the cement and therefore has stopped its production. Restarting production at this factory would take another 10 to 15 days and comes at a heavy cost.

Iranian demonstrators took to the streets of Neyshabour this week over the high prices and in some case lack of chicken in the market. The Iranian officials are reported of saying if the chicken is expensive don't eat them. Another mullah close to the Ali Khamenie, called Shejouni said it's not right to come to streets and protest over chicken. He added: you don't question the system for chicken.!



It's worth mentioning that as seen before the protests in Iran always target the entire system even if it's seems to be over chicken.
