With these words, a number of Ahwazi workers wrote banners expressing their dissatisfaction with the racist policies of the Persian occupation against everything Arab in the occupied Ahwazi lands

The workers confirmed that on Labor Day, there were no more workers in Ahwaz, as the Persian occupation had deliberately emptied Ahwazi lands of their people and encouraged them to emigrate outside their country in search of a livelihood that would guarantee them and their families a decent life.

Thus, the arena is cleared for the occupation to replace them with other Persian settlers, and on Labor Day, the workers remember their colleagues who are languishing behind the walls of the racist Persian occupation prisons.

today they were supposed to celebrate with us, some workers cried with those words, saying that many of their fellow workers had been arrested by Persian intelligence services and imprisoned for demanding their rights and the rights of their colleagues.

On Labor Day, the wound is still bleeding, the wound of the port of Jemberon is still bleeding in their hearts, as human rights activists circulated pictures of a number of workers who were injured while performing their duties at the port.

A number of them were killed instantly, depending on their proximity to the source of the explosion, which was caused by the detonation of a solid fuel shipment that had been brought from abroad into Iran's political geography.

A state of anger and grief has gripped the hearts of the people of Ahwaz as the injured from the explosion continue to be admitted to hospitals. Some workers have also confirmed that their financial situation has deteriorated. The deterioration of their financial situation on Labor Day is a clear and inevitable failure of the Persian occupation to provide a decent life for the Arab Ahwazi people.

A number of activists inside Ahwaz prisons have denounced their continued detention without any charges being brought against them. They have also confirmed that they are suffering various forms of torture as a result of the policies of the Persian occupation and its attempts to extract confessions from detainees under torture.

Several human rights organizations denounced the rights of the Ahwazi Arab people, particularly workers, on Labor Day. They also called for the reopening of investigations into the arrest of their colleagues, who were demanding their financial rights and a decent life.

These human rights organizations seized the opportunity and called on the international community to intervene and halt the repeated executions of Ahwazi citizens, including the execution of a man from the city of Quneitra just hours ago.

Analysts say that the racist Persian occupation is using the death penalty to cover up the massive failures that surround it in all sectors.
