Mahmoud Beheshti Langroodi was released last Tuesday after judicial authorities at Evin prison agreed to temporarily release him on condition he terminate his hunger strike. Mahmoud had been in prison since mid-October and had been on a hunger strike for 21 days. The situation for workers in Iran is very bad with many workers facing insecure work, poverty wages and the repressive apparatus of the state if they organise to improve their conditions. Labour activists, like Shahrokh Zamani earlier this year, also face the real danger of dying in prison.
