Join the ITF/ITUC International Action Day on Thursday 9 August in solidarity with union leaders Mansour Osanloo and Mahmoud Salehi.
Osanloo and his Tehran bus drivers’ union has seen meetings brutally broken up and he and his supporters repeatedly jailed and beaten over the last two years. Thursday 9 August will mark one year exactly since Mansour Osanloo was released from prison after an earlier period of imprisonment.
The action day also supports Mahmoud Salehi, co founder of the Saqez Bakery Workers’ Association and the Coordinating Committee to Form Workers’ Organisations, who has also been jailed for asserting the right to undertake the legal trade union activities guaranteed by Iran’s signing of ILO (International Labour Organization) conventions.
What you can do:
On this anniversary day, we are calling upon our affiliates to visit the Iranian diplomatic mission in your country with protest letters and/or hard copies of the petitions collected by the ITF.
If there is no Iranian embassy in your country, you may consider visiting your Ministry/Office of Foreign Affairs to raise your concern; holding a press conference; organising a workplace meeting, or taking any other action which you consider appropriate.
