Join the Global Action Day, March 6, 2008 - Solidarity with workers in Iran

WHO IS THIS MAN?
His name is Mansour Osanloo, leader of the Tehran Bus Workers' Union and the focus of an international campaign that aims to get him released from jail.

WHY IS HE IMPRISONED?
In October 2007 Osanloo was sentenced to five years in prison on trumped up charges of endangering Iran’s national security and criticising the regime. However, the real reason that he has been targeted is as a member of a free trade union not controlled by the government.

HOW LONG HAS HE BEEN IN JAIL?
Since the union was formed in June 2005, he has been arrested three times and spent more time in the notorious Evin Prison than out.

The Mobilization To Free Mumia Abu-Jamal

Submitted by intexile on 木曜, 02/02/2006 - 6:45am.
Mumia Abu-Jamal is an award-winning Pennsylvania journalist who exposed police violence against minority communities. On death row since 1982, he was wrongfully sentenced for the shooting of a police officer. New evidence, including the recantation of a key eyewitness, new ballistic and forensic evidence and a confession from Arnold Beverly (one of the two killers of Officer Faulkner) points to his innocence! Mumia had no criminal record.
