News Center- Iranian environmental activists have launched a campaign against the construction of the Petrochemical Complex in the Mazandaran province. The activists, who say the construction of the facility will lead to disaster, try to make their voices heard. They call on all artists and those who love their environment to raise their voices against the construction.

Iranian actress Hedieh Tehrani is one of the supporters of the campaign. On her social media account, she shared her photo carrying a banner reading, “Stop the petrochemical project” and calls on all citizens to support the campaign.

The petrochemical complex project was postponed last year

The petrochemical complex project was brought to the agenda last year but it was postponed as a result of the protests of environmentalists in the country. Activists actively use social media platforms to make their voices and campaign heard under the hashtag “Stop Petrochemical Project in Mazandaran”. According to the received reports, the Ministry of Petroleum of the Islamic Republic of Iran has taken a step to remove the hashtag.
