An International week in solidarity with Iranian Workers is being organised for November 24-30, 2007. This action is support of the Iranian People and against the Capitalist Iranian Government but is also against the US Capitalist Warmongers. The threat of military action and the economic sanctions imposed by the warmongering, US-led capitalist states pose a serious threat to the people of Iran, especially the poor and the deprived masses. At the same time, these threats have been used by IRI to severely suppress and silent the workers' movement and all other social struggles. |

Jump To Comment: 1The ITF is joining in with Amnesty this year to highlight the cases of Mansour Osanloo and Mahmoud Salehi. You can get more details at the link below.
The International Transport Federation is calling on transport unions to send a message of hope to Mansour Osanloo and Mahmoud Salehi, who remain in detention in Iran for their trade union activities.
The federation is backing Amnesty UK’s annual greetings card campaign, which takes place between November and the end of January, during which activists send thousands of cards with messages of support to those who are imprisoned or victimised for exercising their human rights.
This year Amnesty is highlighting the cases of Mansour Osanloo, President of the trade union representing workers of the Tehran and Suburbs Bus Company and Mahmoud Salehi, founding member of the Saqez Bakery Workers’ Association and of the Coordinating Committee to Form Workers’ Organisations. They have faced repeated persecution and periods of imprisonment for their efforts to establish free trade unions and to represent their fellow workers.
The ITF is joining the action and is asking affiliates to ensure that Mansour and Mahmoud, and their families, receive an overwhelming message of solidarity.
Full details of the greeting card campaign are available at:
http://www.amnesty.org.uk/actions_details.asp?ActionID=352
including labels with home addresses, labels with a suggested solidarity message in Farsi, and other practical information.
