According to Kolbarnews, on the eighth day of the strike by workers of the Middle East Sugar Company in the city of Shush, at least five protesting workers were summoned and arrested by the security police.
Based on received reports, Moslem Zahiri, Masoud Mehrabi, Karim Rezaei, Mahmoud Al-Kathir, and Hossein Khassafpour are among the workers who have been arrested in connection with this strike.
In response to this action, a group of workers from the Middle East Sugar Company gathered in front of the Law Enforcement Force building in Shush, demanding the immediate and unconditional release of their detained colleagues.
The protesting workers stated that the arrests were carried out following a complaint by the company’s management and with the aim of exerting pressure on the strikers.
The workers have also warned that if the arrests continue and their labor demands are ignored, the protests will enter a broader phase. This comes as the strike by the workers of the Middle East Sugar Company has continued for more than a week, and no official response has so far been issued by the company’s management or local authorities.
