Strike continues in Rojhilat: “Until our demands are met”
The shopkeepers who do border trade are on day 19 of their strike. Shopkeepers announced they will continue with the strike until their demands are met.
In Rojhilat (East) Kurdistan, the Kasibkar (border trade) shopkeepers have gone on a strike and shut down their shops for the last 19 days in protest of the Iranian regime banning border trade and increasing customs taxes.
The srike started in Bane and Ciwanro, then spread to Kirmanşan, Meriwan, Seqiz, Serdeşt and Piranşar provinces.
THEY DON’T TRUST THE REGIME’S PROMISES
Regime officials visited the shopkeepers on strike and said they will resolve the problems of the Kasibkars, but no steps have been taken yet.
The shopkeepers said they don’t believe in the Iranian regime officials’ promises and that they will continue the strike and not open their shops or the market places until customs taxes are lowered and borders are opened.
