Teachers’ unions urge security forces to stand with protesters
The Coordination Council of Iranian Teachers’ Trade Associations addressed Iran’s military, police and security forces in a statement, urging them not to turn against protesters.
“You come from the heart of this society. Standing against the people is standing against your own future and that of your children,” the council said. “Refrain from staining your hands with the blood of the people and be certain that history will not forget these moments.”
At least eight protesters have been killed during six days of demonstrations in Iran.
