I’m passing on details of one of LabourStart’s campaigns – I’m sure many of you will want to express your support for this Iranian teacher:
Today we are once again being asked to mobilize tens of thousands of trade unionists around the world in defense of an Iranian teacher who has been sentenced to death. His name is Abdolreza Ghanbari and the crime he is accused of is “enmity towards God”. The Education International, which represents teachers’ trade unions around the world, is demanding his release.
It will take you only a minute to send off your message of protest – please click here to do so.
Please spread the word in your union. Maybe this time, if we can send enough messages, our voices will be heard.
