As reported previously, the recent death of Shahrokh Zamani in an Iranian prison has shone a light on the repressive nature of the Iranian government and has galvanised support for labour activists in Iran. The peak body of trade unions in Victoria, the Victorian Trades Hall Council recently passed a motion condemning the suppression and imprisonment of Iranian trade unionists and its support for Iranian workers’ demands for living wages and the right to organise. A demonstration in support of Iranian workers has been organised for Monday October 19 at 10am, Victoria State Parliament.
