Mansour Osanloo's visit to the ITF and ITUC in June 2007
Take Action: Send a Protest Letter
Mansour Osanloo Kidnapped
At 7pm local time on 10th July unidentified assailants kidnapped Mansour Osanloo, President of the Syndicate of Workers of Tehran and Suburbs Bus Company, in Tehran.
Osanloo was attacked as he was getting off a bus. His attackers yelled at the other passengers to stay away and called him a 'hoodlum and a thug'. The witnesses on the bus stated that he was beaten severely and his attackers continued to beat him even after they had stuffed him into the metallic grey Peugeot. Given the past history of Osanloo's treatment by the security forces there is strong reason to believe that some part of the Iranian authorities was responsible for this attack, but the local police station, to which his family turned, refused to confirm or deny that the police were involved.
David Cockroft, General Secretary of the ITF, reacted strongly to news of Osanloo's kidnapping, "On behalf of the five million transport workers affiliated to the ITF, we condemn this cowardly act. We demand the immediate and unconditional release of Mansour Osanloo. ITF affiliates and the global trade union leaders who met him at the recent ITUC General Council meeting in Brussels, and the International Labour Organisation, will all protest against this blatant violation of human and trade union rights and will take whatever action is necessary to secure the
immediate release of Mansour Osanloo".
He continued: "We condemn this cowardly act. We demand an immediate and unconditional release of Mansour Osanloo. We call upon the Global Unions and the wider civil society to raise their voices together to protest against this blatant violation of human and trade union rights."
The ITF and ITUC (International Trade Union Confederation) have acted immediately to protest to the Iranian Government and the ILO against this latest attack on Osanloo.
