We condemn prison and lash verdicts against the detainees whom were arrested at the beginning of May 2009 (during workers-day demonstration) in Sanandaj. Three of the arrested protesters of workers-day were sentenced to 6 months in prison and 40 lashes.
Three arrested workers during the workers-day demonstration; Faaegh Kaikhosravi (member of free workers union),Shiva Sobhani and Mansoor Karimianwere sentenced to 6 month in prison and 40 lashes by the branch 105th of Sanandaj’s court.
The text of this order reads as; this verdict can be changed to 3 years in prison. According to this verdict, Babak Ojailani and Shab-boo Khalili also arrested during the worker-days demonstration in Sanandaj were not charged.
We condemn prison and lashes verdicts against the detainees whom were arrested at the Mayday 2009 (during workers-day demonstration) in Sanandaj. The possibility of changes in this verdict to 3 years is prison is to put pressure on works to be quit and bare the unfair situation which exists within the workers –class life today.
