Iran's Shopkeepers Strike in Support of Protest Movement
(Wall Street Journal) Sune Engel Rasmussen - Iranian shopkeepers across the country began a three-day strike starting Tuesday in solidarity with a monthslong protest movement demanding the ouster of the clerical leadership. In Tehran, shopkeepers in the Grand Bazaar closed their stores and chanted "death to the dictator." Steelworkers in Tehran and Isfahan also went on strike. In the western Kurdistan province, shopkeepers closed markets in 18 cities.
