Syndicate of Workers of the Tehran and Suburban Bus Company, Vahed, Condemns the Assassination Attempt of Majid Hamidi, the Labor Activist in Sanandaj

On Thursday October 18, 2007, as reported, at 9:00 am when Majid Hamidi, labor activist, left his house to his work was shot seven bullets in an attempted assassination by three motor riders, who had covered their faces. Majid Hamidi was wounded severely, and immediately was taken to a hospital in Sanandaj city by people, but he was transferred to Amiralam hospital in Tehran because of the large injury and his critical situation and lack of treatment facilities in the Sanandaj hospital.

The association attempt to Majid Hamidi indicates the application of terror tool against labor activists by workers enemies.

The Syndicate of Workers of the Tehran and Suburban Bus Company, Vahed, by expressing the deep sympathy with the family of this labor activist, and hoping that he gets well soon, strongly condemns the assassination attempt to Majid Hamidi, and insistently demands the arrest of those ordered and undertook this attack, and take them on a trial regardless of who they are.
