Sheys Amani Freed on Bail!

June 13, 2007- Mr. Sheys Amani, the president of the Dismissed and Unemployed Workers’ Union, was freed on 50 million Toman bail (US$54,000) on June 12^th, following delays in his release since June 9^th. The authorities had attempted to hold his release without any justifiable reasons but his family and colleagues had been protesting, demanded his immediate release. The authorities did not release Amani until late afternoon on the 12^th when they literally forced over 100 people waiting outside the prison for Amani to leave the area.

Latest news from Salehi: Salehi has postponed his decision to go on hunger strike after pleas by his wife and colleagues that he should refrain from it since it would further endanger his life and that they are organizing a number of activities and actions in Tehran and other cities for his freedom and/or access to proper medical treatment.
