Sugar Union Leaders Sentenced to Prison in Iran – Act Now!
In a drive to destroy the independent union established last year by workers at the giant Haft Tapeh plantation/refining sugar complex in southern Iran, a court on October 12 sentenced 6 union leaders to immediate prison terms on charges stemming from October 2007. Three leaders convicted for their union activity last year for “endangering national security” in connection with worker action in 2008 had their sentences overturned on appeal in September.
Two union officers, president Ali Nejati and communications officer Reza Rekhshah, both of whom face lengthy prison sentences, were still awaiting the outcome of their appeal when the court in the city of Dezful sentenced the six leaders on the similar 2007 charges.
Send a message to the government of Iran – freedom for the Haft Tapeh leaders!
