Listen to our voices
from Rajai Shahr, Evin and Tabriz prisons
Mr. Director-Genral, syndicates and trade unions;
We would like to draw your attention to the repression of
the workers syndicates and violation of the basic rights of workers in Iran
including lack of job security, mass dismissals, the under poverty line
payments, lack of right to strike and have independent workers’ syndicates and
racist policies toward Afghani workers.
Ladies and Gentlemen,
Please listen to the voices of Iranian jailed workers
such as Reza Shahabi, Behnam Ebrahimzadeh, Jafar Azimzadeh, Mehdi Farahi Shandiz,
Abdolreza Ghanbari in Evin Prison in Tehran, Shahrokh Zamani and Rasoul Badaghi
in Rajai Shahr Prison in Karaj, Mohammad Jarrahi in Tabriz Prison, Ebrahim
Mostafapour, Ghasem Mostafapour, Jamal Minashiri, Hadi Tanuman and Mohammad
Karimi in Mahabad Prison and Mohammad Molanai, Yousef Abkharabat and Vahed
Seyyedeh in Bokan Prison.
We must mention that at the moment that this letter is
being written some workers like Behnam Ebrahimzadeh and Jafar Azimzadeh are in
solitary confinements under torture, some others are prosecuted and some may be
imprisoned whom we are not aware of because the Islamic Republic never
announces the names of the arrested ones.
We urge you to help us in obtaining the basic rights of
the workers in Iran through pointing out 3 demands during the 103rd Session of
the International Labour Conference:
1- The workers’ house (Khaneye Kargar) and other
governmental organizations are not the representatives of the Iranian workers.
Do not let them participate in the session.
2- We urge you not to let the Islamic Republic of Iran take
part in this session unless they accept free elections in order to choose the
real representatives of Iranian workers. These elections must be under the
monitoring of ILO.
3- Do not permit the representatives of Islamic Republic of
Iran unless they accept to fulfill their obligations on the basis of Concord
number 98 and number 87.

workers of Tehran and suburbs bus company from Evin Prison in Tehran
