Brussels picket
IWSN activists were present at the joint union picket with Amnesty International in Brussel, known under the name of 'Justice for Iranian workers'. Leaders from the socialist, Christian and liberal unions were present as well as the representatives of the International Transport Federation and the ICFTU. There were also many Iranian exiles and trade unionists present.
At the initiative of IWSN activists in the socialist union of the Flemish University of Brussels (ACOD - Vrije Universiteit Brussel), a delegation of rank-and-file workers and shop stewards was also present (see photo with ACOD banner). The council workers' union of Brussels (CGSP ALR) also sent a delegation. Many demonstrators accepted our placards with the slogans of the IWSN campaign as you can see from the photos.
We also distributed a leaflet of the IMT explaining the the meaning of the uprising in Iran. The IWSN handbook of was also sold. Some youth contacted us to organise new demonstrations against the dictatorship. In the next days we will continue to be present at the protest actions.
Free all jailed workers now!
The right to strike is an absolute right!
