Ebrahim Nouroozi Gowhari, a member of the Syndicate of the Workers of Vahed Company, summoned by the Revolutionary Court

As reported by Dastranj, the Public Outreach of the Syndicate of the Workers of Vahed Company announced that Ebrahim Nouroozi Gowhari, a member of the Syndicate, would attend the branch 14 of the Revolutionary Court.

The reason of this summons is his participation in the trade unionism’ protest of workers of Vahed Company in 2005. His case is one of those 16 files which had been opened in the judicial system for their protest in 2005.

 In the winter of 2005, the workers of Vahed Company went to strike because their trade demands had not been fulfilled. During this protest, many of the workers, including the members of the Syndicate of Workers, were arrested by the disciplinary agents. After a while, the judicial system ordered to stop prosecution of detained workers, and many of them were returned to their previous job; still, sixteen of workers have their files open.

Mansour Osanloo, Ebrahim Madadi and Ali Zad Hosein are some of those workers whose cases were tried by the judicial system. Mansour Osanloo, the president of the Syndicate, is serving his 5 – year prison sentence. Ebrahim Madadi, the vice president of the Syndicate, as it was said, has been sentenced to three years and a half term prison, but he has not received the verdict yet. Ali Zad Hosein, a member of the Syndicate, was sentenced to 10 – month suspended prison a while ago.
