Bad news for eco-zealots trying to bully us into swapping our cars for electric vehicles. The prices of used EVs have plunged by ?14,000, according to Cazoo. Not such a good investment, then.

8pm, 23 April, Teachers Club, Parnell Square, Dublin 1.

Hands off People of Iran presents:

Iranian Revolution – the hidden history

Speakers:

Torab Saleh Workers Left Unity Iran

Anne McShane Hands off People of Iran

Chair: Des Derwin

23 April Teachers Club, Parnell Square 8pm


The Iranian revolution is often portrayed as an uprising led by Islamic fundamentalists. This completely denies the reality of this immense social movement. The roots of 1979 lay in the mass democratic and secular struggle against the deeply discredited Shah. Women’s organisations, workers and students all took part in an uprising for freedom and democracy. This was a progressive movement that was hijacked by the Ayatollah and his supporters.

Torab Saleh took part in the movement of 1979. He will speak of his personal experiences of that time and the challenges it presented to him and others on the left. He will focus on the many exciting events of that year, including the coming together of a vibrant and confident women’s movement and the energy and determination of the working class.

Torab has written extensively on the subject and his articles can be found at http://www.hopi-Ireland.org

Come along to listen and take part in an important discussion about one of the most exciting events of the 20th century.
