Iranians rally around unsafe Industrial conditions

Petrochemical Compound 4 – More than 100 family members of the workers who died as a result of fires in 2 factories gathered in a mass rally. The gathering was held to protest the events that led to the accidents, the lack of interest and indifference by industrial representatives following this incident, and the silence of provincial authorities in Shazand since the fire. According to a statement from someone familiar with the case, “the mass rally was accompanied by a large crowd and was ended by intervention from security guards”. The informed person noted that the families of the dead workers protested a delay in declaring 3 days of public mourning across the city and stated: “dead workers’ families criticized the new provincial representative for the city of Shazand, as well as other officials from the province, and protested their lack of interest in pursuing the root cause of the accident. The crowd then left the area and walked toward the governor’s office”.This person went on to add: “It should be noted that many of the workers in the factories were not covered by insurance, and accordingly, many of the families will not be entitled to any compensation for their death”. According to unconfirmed reports, there is speculation that the accidents were caused by the workers who were killed in an effort to remove responsibility from the factory manager and inspectors.Iran Human Rights Voice,http://www.ihrv.org/inf/?p=291 (accessed 10 June 2008)

“Apartheid!” Protest in Tel Aviv

On Saturday June 7, members of the ISM marched through the streets of Tel Aviv with a banner proclaiming “This Is Apartheid!” While participating in a demonstration, organized by Israelis to protest the 41st year of Israel’s occupation of Gaza, the West Bank, and East Jerusalem, the ISMers unfurled the banner and marched down Rothchild Boulevard as hordes of Israeli spectators looked on. The banner garnered much interest with photographers and videographers documenting the moment. Responses from onlookers ranged from questions like, “What do you mean by this?” to angry confrontational statements like “They should take it up the …”

The Tel Aviv march took a path down central commercial streets densely populated with Saturday evening cafÈ-goers. A highlight for the ISM contingent was passing with the apartheid banner by the infamous Bet Jabotinsky, named for Zeev Jabotinsky, a central architect of the establishment of the “Jewish State,” and the central headquarters of Israel’s right-wing Likud political party.
