EI launches urgent action appeal for Iranian teacher Farzad Kamangar

In recent weeks, EI has written to the Iranian Government to request a fair trial for Farzad Kamangar and other union activists who are under arrest. In spite of joint efforts from various national and international organisations to have death sentence of Farzad Kamangar commuted, it was upheld by the Supreme Court on 11 July 2008. In addition, Iranian trade union colleagues and human rights activists who show solidarity with Farzad are being subjected to pervasive intimidation by the Iranian authorities. EI calls on its member organisations, partners and individual teachers to support its appeal. For more information, please visit: www.ei-ie.org/savefarzad
