Union raises alarm over Shahabi's health

18/11/11

The Tehran bus drivers’ union the Vahed Syndicate, of which imprisoned Iranian trade unionist Reza Shahabi is a board member, has raised concerns about his state of health.

According to the union he has been returned to prison after being taken to hospital for an MRI scan and X rays for a neck injury. He had previously been transferred to hospital due to deteriorating health following his hunger strike last year.

ITF general secretary David Cockroft said: “Reza has now been unjustly held since his arrest in June of last year. This is clearly taking a toll on his health. It is past time for the authorities to withdraw the false charges of endangering national security used against him and let Reza – along with other unjustly detained trade unionists such as Ebrahim Madadi – go free.”
