Tehran, Iran, May 02 –
Thousands of workers attended a demonstration on Monday in the Iranian
capital to mark International Workers’ Day and demanded the resignation of Iran’s Minister of
Labour and Social Affairs.
“Incompetent minister, resign, resign”, the protestors chanted in Tehran, referring to
Labour Minister Mohammad Jahromi.
Jahromi, a founding member of the Islamic Revolutionary
Guards Corps in Gilan and Mazandaran
provinces in 1979, was appointed by hard-line Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad to head the
Labour Ministry in 2005.
The following are photos of the demonstration that were carried by local
state-run news agencies:
