ITF delighted with human rights award for Osanloo and union

15 Setembro 2008

The ITF is proud to congratulate both Mansour Osanloo and the Vahed Syndicate – the Tehran bus drivers’ union of which he is the President – on the announcement that they are to receive the SOLIDAR Silver Rose Award.

The Silver Rose Award recognises individuals and organisations whose struggle contributes greatly to social justice and equality throughout the world. SOLIDAR (www.solidar.org) is a European network of labour and social organisations and is recognised by the ILO.

The ITF and ITUC (International Trade Union Confederation) nominated Mansour Osanloo and the Vahed Syndicate for the award and both organisations describe themselves as delighted at the decision.

Mac Urata, Secretary of the ITF's Inland Transport Section, commented: “We and everyone else who supports the campaign for justice for workers in Iran can be justifiably pleased at the news of this well-deserved award.”

“Sadly,” he continued, “Mansour is unlikely to be able to receive it in person when it is presented at the European Parliament in Brussels in October, because he is still being unjustly held in jail. In fact, the latest bad news is that instead of being moved to hospital to receive treatment for his eye problems he has instead been transferred to Rajai Shahr Prison in Karaj City. This is a reminder of how far we have to go in our efforts on his and his colleagues’ behalf – but for one day at least we can take pleasure in the good news of the award and what it says about the worldwide recognition of what is being done to good men and women inside Iran.”
