Civil disobedience by 300 truck drivers in Iran

Truckers blocked team-mate highway in protest to police corruptions. The participating drivers explained to vehicles stopping that the police was allowed only to intervene when a crime was in the making or to issue tickets for traffic violations. However, they [police] stop us on the road and demand bribes for something they made up as traffic violations.

Truck drivers in Iran, are slowly becoming a force to be reckoned with. Strategically what they and other groups are building up to, will build up to a general strike one day. The threat of a general strike will save Iran from any alien, be they external, or internal like the Seyyeds.
