Kaleme: Labor activist Pedram Nasrollahi was arrested after he appeared in court on Wednesday, November 14, 2012. According to the website of the Coordinating Committee to Assist Establishment of Labor Organizations, Pedram Nasrollahi was a member of the Committee. He was transferred to Sanandaj Central Prison in Kurdistan Province to begin serving his 19-month prison sentence. In 2008, the Intelligence Ministry detained Pedram Nasrollahi in its Sanandaj Detention Center for 3.5 months. He was also arrested and detained in 2011.
Charges leveled against Pedram Nasrollahi were "membership in the Coordinating Committee to Assist Establishment of Labor Organizations," and "dispatching news to an opposition website," for which the Sanandaj Revolutionary Court initially sentenced him to three years in prison. A Kurdistan Province appeals court later reduced his sentence to 19 months in prison.

Support Pedram Nasrollahi NOW! Don't wait for "Regime change."
by Zendanian on Fri Nov 23, 2012 03:17 PM PSTDear friends, contrary to war mongers on
this site, Political Prisoners in Iran need our support in theirdefense NOW, without any delay,and can not wait for a "regime change" or
sanctions
to come to free them from their prison cell.
Keep in mind that all these political prisoners inside Iran also oppose sanctions, and war, Coordinating Committee and all its members have a long established policy of opposition to Sanctions and War.
Also, please recall, there have been many cases of Iranian Political
Prisoners being freed from jail due to public pressure put on officials
of IR. With all the resources at our disposal, it would take only a
moment to write a letter of protest in support of Political Prisoners in
Iran. But such small actions will go a long way for our most brave
Political Prisoners in Iran. Lets not leave them alone in their hour of
need.
Please do take a minute out of your schedule and send this protest letter below, or you own version. Many thanks in advance
---------------------------------------------
I (we) am writing to protest the continued persecution of labor activists and the gross violation of Human Rights in Iran. We
continue to witness many laboractivists brutally persecuted and unjustly imprisoned in Iran.
In particular, this letter is written to express my (our)
serious concern about the health and well being of Mr. Pedram Nasroolahi who has been unjustly incarcerrated only because of his independent views and social activitism.
I (we) demand the immediate and unconditional freedom
of Mr. Pedran Nasrollahi, and all other political prisoners in Iran and call on the
Islamic Republic of Iran to respect the right of all Iranians to
organize, assemble and freedom of religion, association and expression.

Freedom for Pedram and all labor activists
by Roozbeh_Gilani on Fri Nov 23, 2012 09:05 AM PSTPedram has committed no crimes. All he is asking for is the right to organise an independent Trade union for his fellow workers.
Publicize pedram's case by contacting your local newspaper, TV stations, elected representative. He had been arrested and released under international pressure once before....

Regime change for Pedram's sake
by Fred on Fri Nov 23, 2012 08:37 AM PSTAfter 34 years of barbarity by the Messianic Islamist Rapists, "reformers" and all, the only way out is regime change.
backbreaking airtight sanctions plus air/navalquarantine is a must.
