On Thursday, November 11, Iran, witnessed the largest nationwide protests of teachers in 53 cities across the country. The protests of Iranian teachers were against small salaries, delirious high prices, intolerable living conditions, and the officials’ ignorance of their rightful demands. As always, plainclothes agents and the State Security Force tried to prevent these protests, to no avail. In the capital Tehran, the State Security Force initially used loud speakers to disperse the crowd. Subsequently, they attacked the protesters who were holding the photos of the martyrs of the November 2019 uprising. The SSF tore up the pictures. They prevented filming of the gathering and arrested a group of protesting teachers.
