Execution and Intimidation are condemned: Statement of Tehran Bus Transportation Syndicate in condemning Farzad Kamangar’s execution

فارسی

We are mourning the death of a teacher whose teaching tool was chalk and pen, who taught children that many of them would go to bed with an empty stomach every night. Execution and intimidation is condemned. His crime was defending human rights. Crime that in the past 100 year has taken lives of many and made lots of families to mourn. In the past 4 years many national and international organizations had condemned the imprisonment of Farzad Kamanger and more importantly demanded for an impartial and legal review of his case. International organizations had asked for direct meeting with Farzad several times, which never got approved.

Unfortunately his family did not have the right or opportunity to see their beloved son for the last time. These executions take place in our society while our people have always negated any type of violence. Iranian and international worker movement have lost a teacher who did not stop learning and teaching even in prison. Our condolences goes to Farzad Kamangar family and everyone around the world.

As we have repeatedly announced through out these years, we want an end to death penalty, we reject verdicts of illegal courts and ask for the freedom of all social right prisoners; including Mr. Madadi and Osanloo.

With hope for peace and justice all around the world
