کمپین آزادی دستگیر شدگان روز جهانی کارگر در ایران پیوست!
بدنبال تلاشهای واحد حزب در
استرالیا "شرن بارو" دبیر شورای اتحادیه

احمدی نژاد٬ جمهوری اسلامی را به دلیل رفتار وحشیانه علیه کارگران
در اول مه، شدیدا محکوم کرد. او در این نامه از احمدی نژاد خواست
که امکان آزادی دستگیر شدگان روز جهانی کارگر را فراهم آورد۔
در بخشی
از این نامه چنین آمده است:
"شورای اتحادیه های کارگری
استرالیا بهمراه جنبش بین المللی اتحادیه های کارگری وضعیت کارگران
در ایران را از نزدیک زیر نظر خواهد گرفت و قطعا از استفاده از
ابزار و مکانیسم های بین المللی و یا بسیج مجدد جنبش بین المللی
کارگری در دفاع از کارگران در ایران خودداری نخواهد کرد.

تا برای آزادی فوری و امن تمام دستگیرشدگان اول ماه مه و همچنین
رعایت حقوق کارگران در ایران اقدامات لازم را بعمل آورید."

میلیون کارگر را
در سراسر جهان نمایندگی
می کنند، ۲۶
ژوئن را بعنوان روز جهانی برای تحقق خواستهای پایه ای کارگران
ایران اعلام کرده اند. آنها در فراخوان خود از کارگران جهان خواسته
اند که در این روز با خواست " عدالت برای کارگران ایران" و
محکومیت جمهوری اسلامی بدلیل نقض حقوق اساسی کارگران ایران و
دستگیریهای مستمر در مقابل سفارتخانه ها و دفاتر نمایندگی جمهوری
اسلامی دست به اعتراض بزنند.

Dear
Mr. President,
Re:
Peaceful May Day Rallies and Arrest of Trade Unionists
The
Australian Council of Trade Unions (ACTU), on behalf of our
affiliates and two million members, is writing to you once again
to protest in the strongest possible terms the series of events
which marred the May Day celebration in your country and to
express our continued and serious concerns as to the
deterioration in the situation of trade union and other
fundamental human rights in the Islamic Republic of Iran.
On
the occasion of the 1st of May, a number of Iranian workers'
organisations had established the 2009 May Day Organising
Committee. This Committee had organised a peaceful May Day rally
in Laleh Park, Tehran, which was set to start at 5 pm. According
to the information we have, more than 2,000 workers came to
participate in the event.
Prior to the event, the Iranian security forces had undertaken
serious attempts to prevent it from taking place by placing
surveillance on workers and labour activists with constant
harassment and intimidation.
Almost immediately after the start of the event, at 5.30 pm, the
demonstrators were violently attacked by the police and
assaulted with batons and tasers. A large number of participants
were cornered, beaten to the ground with batons, tear-gassed,
punched, kicked and verbally abused. The police went on to
arrest over 200 workers and other participants, including
women’s organisations, university students, and allegedly even
some passers-by, generally resorting to unnecessarily brutal
force. Over 150 of those arrested were subsequently taken to
Evin prison.
At
another event in Tehran, organized by Metal workers, over 30
people were arrested and 25 of those were subsequently put in
custody.
We
also understand that on the 1st of May, six labour activists
were arrested at the May Day event in the city of Sanandaj.
According to our information they were released the day after,
albeit on heavy bail (26 million toman). All six of them
suffered bad treatment during their detention. Ms Shabbou and Ms
Shiva were handcuffed and blindfolded throughout the whole of
their custody. The ACTU fears that these six activists may face
further charges for their participation in the May Day events.
The
ACTU along with the international trade union movement, cannot
stress enough how strongly we disagree with the course of events
as described above. The workers in Tehran, as well as in
Sanandaj, had requested permission for their rally well in
advance, their legitimate and only intention being to peacefully
celebrate Labour Day, as millions of their fellow workers in
countries all over the world do. In no way can the events
justify the violence used by your government’s security forces
and the huge number of detainees.
We
again point you to the fact that Iran is a longstanding member
of the ILO and as a member is required to adhere to the ILO
Declaration on Fundamental Principles and Rights at Work which
guarantees the freedom of association and right to collective
bargaining.
As
the ongoing suppression and imprisonment of workers in your
country to address injustices against them, such as better
working conditions, low wages, and freedom of association –
actions that promote a better working and living conditions do
not pose a threat to the Iranian state, but rather aimed at the
prosperity of the Iranian people and the country as a whole. It
is the responsibility of your government to ensure the right and
exercise of trade union rights without fear of any violence or
reprisals.
The
ACTU together with others in the international trade union
movement will continue to monitor the situation of workers in
Iran very closely, and will certainly not hesitate to make use
of the available mechanisms at international level, or to once
again mobilise the international trade union movement on behalf
of our colleagues in Iran.
I
urge you to take the necessary measures to ensure the immediate
and safe release of all those arrested on May Day and to ensure
respect the rights of workers in Iran.
Yours sincerely
Sharan Burrow
PRESIDENT
