Protesting firefighters gathered in front of Tehran Municipality

In January of this year, another protest rally was held in front of Tehran Municipality with the participation of hundreds of firefighters, during which the firefighters protested the lack of job safety and their living conditions and demanded the resignation of Mehdi Davari, the CEO of the Tehran Fire Department.

The protest was held on the fifth anniversary of the Plasco building fire and collapse, an incident in which 16 firefighters lost their lives.

The livelihood crisis and rampant inflation in Iran have led to numerous protest rallies by different segments of society, including teachers, workers, and retirees, in recent months.

These protests have in some cases led to the repression and arrest of protesters by government officials.
