Iranian artist and politician Zahra Rahnavard demands the release of all imprisoned workers and teachers.
Zahra Rahnavard’s demands come in honour of International Workers Day and Teachers Day:
1. Demonstrate good will by first and foremost releasing all imprisoned workers and teachers.
2. Release female prisoners and all other prisoners (known or unknown) held in Iran.
3. Hold a free and democratic election nationwide.
4. Pay close attention to the advice and constructive criticism by your opponents who have warned you on numerous occasions of the dangers of a bankrupt economy that will lead to [more] unemployment, drug addiction, and the destruction of families. In other words, tighten your belt and refrain from unwise trade practices that lead to negativity. Stop idolizing countries like Burkina Faso, Zimbabwe, and China; their economic policies have only lead to bankrupt factories, hungry people, children with no clothing and shelter, and unemployment.
5. Allow freedom of press, the forth element in separation of power in a democratic society.
6. In lieu of a military environment, create a culturally and intellectually open environment conducive to free thought and freedom of expression.
