This year has seen continued industrial activity by teachers in Iran (see here and here) with many of the main activists arrested. This week news has come out that Mahmoud Langroodi, a board member of the Iranian Teachers’ Trade Association (Tehran) was arrested at his home while another two unionists, Mohammad Niknejad and Mehdi Bohlooli, were arrested a few days later. These three teachers had all participated in the protests this year and their arrests are part of the wave of repression that the Iranian government has unleashed on these workers. There are international campaigns to support these and other teachers that are currently being held in Iranian jails.
