Snatched union leader discovered in jail
12 July 2007
After a desperate round of inquiries by family and friends, the authorities in Iran have finally stopped denying all knowledge of the abduction of Mansour Osanloo and admitted that he is being held in Tehran’s Evin Prison.
The order to arrest Osanloo, who was snatched from a bus on Tueday by unidentified assailants, came from Revolutionary Court Judge Saeed Mortazavi, who yesterday and today denied any knowledge of Osanloo’s whereabouts, according to the ITF.
ITF General Secretary David Cockroft said: “At least we now know where Mansour is being held. We will campaign with renewed vigour for his release, and for the Iranian Government to rein in the loose cannons responsible for this latest shameful attack.”
