Several Iraq-based Iranian Kurdish opposition parties have called for a general strike on Thursday in Iran in support of the protests in the Islamic republic, one of the exiled parties told AFP.
The Komala party, an exiled Iraq-based Iranian Kurdish separatist group that Tehran considers a terrorist organization, announced the strike on Wednesday.
“Seven Kurdish opposition parties have called for a general strike tomorrow Thursday,” said Komala central committee member Hassan Rahmanpanah.
The protests began on December 28 when shopkeepers in Tehran staged a strike over high prices and economic stagnation, but they have since spread to other places and expanded to include political demands. (AFP)
