Mr Osanlo, the leader of the Transport Workers Union, was re-arrested upon his return to Iran after attending the International Transport Union (ITU) meeting in Europe.
Since his arrest, the ITU, based in London, has made many formal and informal calls to the Islamic Republic Government for his immediate and unconditional release but with no success. Now, it forced to call upon, if not millions, tens of thousands of its members all around the world to protest in front of the Islamic Republic Embassies all around the world on Aug 9.
After the announcement, there was a good news out of Iran. The Iranian Judiciary spoke-person has announced the release of the 5 university students and imminent release of a further 6. http://www.bbc.co.uk/persian/iran/story/2007/08/070805_mv-students.shtml
Yes, it works, not only a huge noise is helpful to the deaf ears but it also helps the blind eyes in Iran!
It is 21 century, having political prisoners is simply unacceptable!
