Reza Shahabi is a long time member and activist with the Syndicate of Workers of Tehran and Suburbs Bus Company (Vahed Syndicate). Earlier this week Reza was forced to return to prison, though there have been conflicting accounts of what his status now is or where he is going to be imprisoned. Reza was on temporary release so that he could get medical treatment as his health had deteriorated while in prison. Reza was serving six years in prison for organising and tragically he is only one of many labour activists who has to contend with the repressive nature of the Iranian government.
