A labor activist taking part in this gathering said, “They cannot crack down on workers and arrest them, like they did in the case of the workers of Haft Tappeh, because they participated in a protest. We, workers, declare today that according to principles 26 and 27 of the law, it is our right to form our powerful and independent organizations. It is also our right to hold protest marches and go on strike.” (The state-run ILNA news agency – November 20, 2018)
