TEHRAN — NearIran's parliament building here, groups of men and women gathered Sunday to protest what they called injustice.

The men, mostly middle-aged telecommunications workers from the provinces, said they were owed back pay and had seen annual job guarantees slashed to daily work contracts.

The women, many donning traditional black cloaks covering their heads and bodies, said they had been coming here for five days to protest the loss of preschool teaching jobs as the number of classrooms is cut for budget reasons.

Super sad! Mullahs are forcing Iranians to become herbivores!

Mullahs are pretty much saying, "Shut up and forget about your chickens!"

This is difficult time, instead of comforting fellow countrymen, mullahs come out lecturing people!

Thank you, MM and DM, for reading!

Or... Anything else worth bargaining for.

We the people of iran are willing and able to deal with the shortages because our leaders have said so. That is all there is to it.

Eat rats. cockroaches. heck, those crows don't look too bad. i heard they are tasty.

Mr. sir!  we hear your sir and we will obey your commands.

"If there is a shortage in chicken meat then change your diet and look for other sources of protein," advised Ayatollah Ahmad Alamolhoda in his Friday sermon in the eastern city of Mashhad. "Do not expect to continue the lifestyle you currently have."
