The reaction of the regime was swift and brutal -- hundreds of workers were arrested in an attempt to break their union. The union leader, Mansour Osanloo, was jailed for 8 months and finally released on bail -- but last Sunday was arrested again while on his way to the Labour Ministry. Osanloo was verbally and physically assaulted, threatened with a gun, and driven away by plain-clothes police.</div> <div><BR></div> <div>Unions
around the world are reacting, demanding that the Iranian government release Osanloo immediately.</div> <div><BR></div> <div>Please add your voice to this mounting wave of international protest - go here:</div> <div><BR></div> <div><A href="http://www.labourstart.org/cgi-bin/solidarityforever/show_campaign.cgi?c=167" target=_blank rel=nofollow><FONT color=#003399>http://www.labourstart.org/cgi-bin/solidarityforever/show_campaign.cgi?c=167 </FONT></A></div> <div><FONT color=#003399><BR></FONT></div> <div>In addition, we'd like to you consider downloading and printing out an offline version of this campaign, here:</div> <div><BR></div> <div><A href="http://www.labourstart.org/freemansour.pdf" target=_blank rel=nofollow><FONT color=#003399>http://www.labourstart.org/freemansour.pdf</FONT></A></div> <div><FONT color=#003399><BR></FONT></div> <div>You can make copies of this page and take it to meetings, signing up people offline. </div>
