Justin Trudeau wants to prorogue Parliament to buy time before the election. Voters will punish him for it, says Prof James Allan, but it's a mistake he must be allowed to make without activist judges getting in the way.

Jordan Peterson should make his mind up about Christianity, critics say. Prof James Alexander disagrees: he's a profound Jungian explorer who wants to help a secularised world see why Christianity still matters.

Condemn Assassination attempts Against Labour Activists in Iran!

category international | worker & community struggles and protests | other press author Monday October 22, 2007 16:22author by Erich Muehsam Report this post to the editors

Here is a report of yet another murderous attack on a worker activist by the Iranian State forces. Trade Unionists in Iran deserve our support in their struggle for the right to form unions.

On Thursday, October 18, at 9:00 AM in Sanandaj in Iran, 3 plain clothes agents who had covered their faces attempted to assassinate Majid Hamidi a labour activists in Sanandaj. Mr. Hamidi is a member of the Coordinating Committee to Form Workers’ Organization as well as a member of the Committee in Defence of Mahmoud Salehi. Reports by the two above organizations, indicate that Mr. Hamidi was shot 7 times in the arm, shoulder and neck. Friends and neighbors immediately took Mr. Hamidi to the Sanandaj’s hospital and he was transferred to Tehran for surgery.

According to the Committee in Defence of Mahmoud Salehi, Mr. Hamidi himself has said that this is the least price workers and labour activists have to pay in Iran to achieve their demands and rights.

We cannot allow these kinds of assassination attempts to continue. Iranian labour activists are already facing some of the harshest conditions in the world. They are sacked from workplaces, persecuted, kidnapped, jailed, exiled and beaten frequently. Their leaders, like Osanloo and Salehi, are being deprived of urgent and necessary medical treatments and continue to be incarcerated while their health is at great risk .

Here is an excerpt from a statement by the WPI:

On October 18, Majid Mohammadi, one of the worker activists of city of Sanandaj was attacked by masked armed men of the Islamic Republic and got wounded seriously. At the present, he is in Amir Alam Hospital in Tehran.

The worker-communist Party of Iran strongly condemns this criminal act. The Party will use its entire means in Iran and abroad to organize a strong line of protest against this new crime of the Islamic Republic. The WPI calls on all libertarian women and men to protest against this act.

The Worker-communist Party of Iran wishes quick recovery for Majid Mohammadi and deeply sympathizes with his family and comrades. The WPI works in order to organize extensive and massive protests against this barbaric act and against the Islamic Republic internationally. The Worker-communist Party of Iran calls on all libertarians, worker unions and progressive organizations all around the world to actively protest the assassination of worker activist, Majid Mohammadi.
