Worker Protest Closes Down Tohid Tunnel in Tehran
The newspaper Aftabeh Yazd reports that the workers of Tohid Tunnel gathered in front of the entrance of the same tunnel they work for in protest of unpaid salaries. The gathering resulted in the closure of the connections between north and south Chamran Freeway from Milad tower to the entrance of Tohid tunnel.
Some of the workers were still wearing their uniforms during the protest and even lay side by side in the entrance of the tunnel, causing major traffic delays. The roads were closed until the police arrived 30 minutes later. The traffic caused many drivers to leave their vehicles and walk out of the tunnel. Many people had entered the tunnel with mobile phones and cameras in order to take video and photos of the protest, and this itself intensified the traffic problem.
