Mahmoud Salehi freed

Finally a small piece of good news from Iran, where trade unionist Mahmoud Salehi has finally been freed from the City of Sanandaj‘s central prison, where he had finished one-year jail term for his labour activities on March 23, 2008 but the authorities had refused to release him until today.

Congratulation and many thanks to all labour, progressive and human rights’ organizations and activists who have supported Salehi and called for his freedom and that of other jailed labour activists.

More details can be found on the website of the International Alliance in Support of Workers in Iran.
