On 29th December 2018, farmers of Varzaneh and Khvorasgan in Isfahan province, Iran, took their protest to the city of Varzaneh.
The farmers who have been protesting for 8 days for their “share of water” came to the streets of the city and chanted “We stand, we fight, we claim our right”.
Thousands of farmers lack water for their land as the authorities have diverted their water source to the private gardens of the heads of the Islamic regime and some industries and projects that are owned by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps. The authorities also do not pay the farmers any compensation for their “share of water”.
Many farmers have lost their source of income and are left with nothing. The angry farmers have been protesting for the last 8 days.
The farmers have been calling on the people for support and solidarity in their protests, blaming the government for the misery. “Shame, shame government”, “Long live farmers, down with oppressors”, and “We stand, we fight, we claim our share of the water” are some of the slogans the farmers chant.
