Solidarity activists called on the international labour movement today to push for the release of hunger-striking Iranian trade unionist Shahrokh Zamani.
He was arrested in June 2011 and sentenced to 11 years in prison for “acting against national security by establishing or being a member of groups opposed to the system” and “spreading propaganda against the Establishment” — charges widely levelled against trade unionists.
Britain-based Iranian solidarity group Codir said Mr Zamani began his hunger strike on March 8 in support of other political prisoners at Gohar Dasht prison.
