Concerns Over Police Officer Salaries

I, Third Lieutenant Reza Tansari, after 15 years

of service,

this shouldn't be my fate. It shouldn't be that until morning

I have to go on patrol.

This morning, sir— I told the highest-ranking,

uh, the county commander, the precinct chief,

I told all of them, "Sir, regarding our livelihood,

take some action, do something about it."

Come let's look at my pay slip. My national ID is 40 42 800

and eight 31. My salary was 38 million.

Deductions made my salary 21 million tomans.

With this 21 million, can I, until the end of the month,

afford even the basic necessities just for food?

There is no one higher than you.

I tell the highest-ranking, the— the precinct chief,

"Higher." I went higher, the county says, "Higher."

I went to the province, they say, "Nothing I can do, Tehran."

Now Tehran— General, if you hear my voice, I'm telling

you.

You're from around here yourself. Sir, think about the livelihood

of the personnel already.

Don't mention any names—

They assigned me, sir, with 100% health... with

100% health, two, with my child who is ve--

among

the destitute,

45 kilometers away from home, I have to go work shifts, night shifts,

and I don't have shift pay on my payslip.

Well, what kind of situation is this? I went to the deputy, to the boss, and said,

"Give me shift pay." Shift pay is at least a million tomans, nothing, up to 1.5

million. Brother went and says there's no allowance code to give it.

That's it.

Why should I stay quiet? Mr. Ziri.

No, no, no.

I'm telling Mr. Ziri, I'm saying this too.

I'm obliged to say this in this meeting.

Now, if you want to call me anti-regime or anti-

revolutionary or whatever, no, I love the regime

and I love the revolution. I'm not anti-regime or anything.

Folks, do something about this.
