Iran: labour

According to ISNA and an authentic copy of a court verdict, Mohsen Hakimi has been sentenced to 2 years imprisonment by the Branch One of the Saqez’ Revolution Court.
In May 2004 he was arrested, before he, labour activist and member of the Iranian Writers’ Association could speak, although he was invited to speak at the May Day event in Saqez on May 1st 2004.
Prior to the event, many people, organizing labour activists, including Hakimi were arrested. Since then there have been several court trials.
At the moment recent sentences in the Saqez case are as follows:
Mahmoud Salehi: 4 years
Jalal Hosseini: 2 years
Borhan Divargar: 2 years
Mohsen Hakimi: 2 years
Mohammad Abdipour: acquitted.



According to daily Etemaad Melli, the wife of November 19 re-arrested labourleader Mansour Osanloo has been told that he has been incarcerated in section 209 of the Evin Prison and the authorities are presently engaged in “negotiation” and “discussion” with Mr. Osanloo.
According to ILNA he was taken from Evin prison to the Branch 14 of the Revolutionary Prosecutor’s Office of Tehran on Sunday, November 26, 2006, for the purpose of investigation and probing.
ILNA reports that the judicial authorities claim that they issued an arrest warrant for Osanloo because he did not appear in court.

His family still wasn't allowed to contact him.
