the Syndicate of Workers of Tehran and Suburbs Bus Company-Vahed

In conjunction with the previous activities and news, we should inform you of increased pressure on the members of the Syndicate of Workers of Tehran and Suburbs Bus Company-Vahed. This includes the closure of our members’ bank accounts and stoppage of their payments. There is a rumour that the government of the Islamic Republic is planning to prosecute our members, especially Mr. Mansour Osanloo.

Mr. Osanloo’s suffering from eye problems is worrying and we are concerned that he is still in solitary confinement. In a meeting with the mayor of Tehran, Ghalibaf, he promised to use all of his executive power to respond to our requests and secure Mr. Asanloo’s release. The members of Syndicate of Workers of Tehran and Suburbs Bus Company-Vahed, gave him the ultimatum that if our requests are not heeded, we will go on strike again. Furthermore, we requested meeting with Judge Mortazavi.

We are calling on all workers and freedom lovers of the world for support and solidarity.

"Speech re Cologne Germany conference about Iranian Political Prisoners "
rec 7-9-05

Farkhondeh

By saluting all the freedom-loving people who have lost their lives for freedom, social justice, and equality and in particular those who were massacred by the Islamic regime of Iran in summer of 1998. Also I salute all the people who are fighting for a better world and equality of the mankind all over the world. I will start my speech with a poem by saeed sultanpour, (a famous revolutionary writer who has been executed by the Islamic Republic Regime in Iran in 1981 for defending the working class rights)

It has been since years that our dearest family members have been murdered by the Iranian regime. During all these years we have not received any reply from governmental officials to our demand for a just investigation of these murders. In spite of all inefficiency of the officials, Dr.Nasser Zarafshan, with a unique responsibility and diligence and by accepting to defend in ?serial murders case? has been our voice pleading for justice, not only as the families of the intellectuals and writers who were murdered during ?serial murders case?, but also as the families of all the victims of the political murders in Iran. Because of his litigation and his insisting on disclosing the facts in this case he was sentenced to 5 years imprisonment and 50 lashes with fabricated charges against him.
After 3years in prison he suffers now a serious kidney illness and all doctors in Evin prison has stated that he needs to be treated outside the prison, but the officials has denied to give him the permission to come out for treatment. After he and his lawyers were disappointed to get the official permission he wrote a letter and stated that he had nothing to disclose this inhuman behaviour against him beside his life and would start an unlimited hunger strike since Tuesday June 7, 2005 and would continue this hunger strike until he has accessibility to appropriate medical possibilities outside prison.
Since his health condition is not good enough to let him continue this hunger strike for a long time and it may even lead to his death we ask you to put as much pressure as you can on the Islamic Republic of Iran for his unconditional freedom and we state that the Islamic Republic of Iran is responsible for all that may happen to him.
