Security Forces Crack Down on Padideh Shareholders After 12 Years of Silence

Security forces cracked down on protesting shareholders at the Padideh Shandiz general assembly in Mashhad.

After 12 years of waiting for transparency and justice, shareholders were met with tear gas, beatings, and arrests. At least two protesters were detained, and reports point to widespread violence.

Many consider Saderat Bank a major stakeholder, responsible for the legal deadlock and years of silence.
