Security forces and police have dispersed Arab youth protesting unemployment in front of the "Dabil Khazaei" sugarcane company in Ahvaz with beatings and gunfire. In this video, a man who is filming says: "These young people are all hungry; no one is hiring us. No one values us. Each of them chased the youth with Kalashnikovs. We want jobs. The youth are hungry. We have nothing to our name. We want jobs."
The human rights organization "Karun" reported on Monday, September 9, 1405, that "the protesting youth and families, representing the neighboring residents of this company, have stated their demands, announcing that the Dabil Khazaei sugarcane company operates on an area of about 12,000 hectares, a significant portion of which belongs to the region and its local people. Despite the presence of local youth with various educational backgrounds and specialties, the company's management has prioritized hiring non-local workers, leaving the local youth deprived of initial employment opportunities."
