" Iranian authorities have detained at least 39 teachers since
2009 on various national-security-related charges.
Revolutionary courts have sentenced 15 of them to prison,
mostly in connection with trade union activities, including
protests calling for wage raises. Several others were
arrested in connection with activities unrelated to their
teaching, including participation in anti-government
demonstrations following the disputed 2009 presidential
election and advocacy on behalf of ethnic minority rights.”
