Iran imprisons the innocent.

 In 2021 there were more than 2,300 street protests in Iran, most of which were linked to workers' rights such as that of teachers who demanded higher salaries, but there were also demonstrations for basic resources, including water.

The data emerged in the annual report published this week by members of the Human Rights Activists News Agency (Hrana), who also denounce the arrest of more than 1,676 people for "political" activities or battles for rights, together with the execution of almost 300 prisoners on death row. 

From 1 January to 20 December 2021, unofficial trade unions organised 1,261 demonstrations in various parts of the country, with another 618 demonstrations and pickets outside workplaces.
