The Life of the Labour Activist Mahmoud Salehi is in Danger ! Dear Comrades, The criminal regime of the Islamic Republic of Iran is continuing its repression of the labour activists, women and the students. The Islamic Republic sees its survival in blood shedding, despotism, and imprisonment of its opponents. In the past few weeks, many freedom fighting students are arrested and imprisoned in the dark dungeons of the Islamic Republic. Extensive mental and physical torture is carried out in prisons of this medieval regime. It is more than three months now that Mahmoud Salehi has been imprisoned because he had organized a May Day rally in the city of Saqez (Kurdistan Province) in 2004. Mahmoud is a well known labour activist who has defended the rights of the workers and the right to form independent labour organizations. He is a member of the Bakery Workers’ Association of the city …

A Letter to the Marxist-Leninist Parties and Organisations on the Occasion of Kidnapping of the Prominent Trade Union Leader Mansour Ossanlou Dear Comrades, The regime of the Islamic Republic of Iran has intensified the repression and arrest of the worker-activists, women, youths, and of university students. Using the pretext of US imperialists’ military threats and of the repeated adoption of the UN resolutions to impose economic sanctions, the capitalist regime of the Islamic Republic has put tremendous pressure on the Iranian masses and is responding to the just demands of the people by bullets and terror.  On July 10, Mansour Ossanlou the head of the Syndicate of Workers of Tehran and Suburb Bus Company (Sherkat e Vahed) was kidnapped by a group (in civilian clothes) related to the Islamic Republic’s security forces. According to the reports given by his family, Mansour is now imprisoned in section 209 of notorious Evin …

Hail May 1st ! The Working Class Will Bring About the Spring of Humanity! One hundred and twenty-two years ago, the workers of the world decided to celebrate May 1st as “Working Class Day.” This decision was made in 1889 at the Congress of the Socialists of the World in Paris, France. On May 1st, when nature wakes up from her winter sleep, when the mountain and forest become freshly green, when the meadows and wheat fields sprout, and the sun bestows more warmth, when the exuberance of freshness is felt in the air, when nature becomes once again alive and finds its happiness, the socialist workers in Paris declared loudly on this day that the working class will bring about “The Spring of Humanity,” that the working class will break the chains of the capitalist yoke, and that the working class has the mission to build a new world …

  Stop the war! No sanctions, no bombs against Iran The US has, directly after its occupation of Iraq, been building up several military bases close to the Iranian border. The US has made repeated demands on the Iranian government to accommodate to US policies concerning the “new American order”. Replacement of the regimes in Iraq, North Korea and Iran is, and has been, part of the Bush doctrine. Right now, as the US has failed in Iraq, its war-mongering against Iran is on the increase. The US has now dispatched two aircraft carriers to the Gulf of Persia and placed 50 warships just off the Iranian coast. The US accuses Iran of possessing nuclear arms or of aiming at producing them. This is the hysterical US propaganda against Iran, in spite of the fact that all inspectors have declared that Iran has got no nuclear arms; those statements, however, …

 he Crimes Committed by the US imperialists and Israeli Zionists against the People of Lebanon and Palestine Are Crimes against Humanity! It is nearly two weeks that the racist and Zionist regime of Israel is bombarding and slaughtering the people of Lebanon and Palestine.

According to the reports, more than 500 Lebanese have lost their lives, more than 2000 are injured, and more than 700,000 are displaced. The barbaric violence against the Lebanese and Palestinians still goes on and the inhuman conditions are deepening. The barbaric Israeli and the US aggression …
