Japanese crane manufacturer Furukawa UNIC has announced it has ended business with the Iranian regime following reports that its cranes have been used to stage public executions.

 

The decision comes on the heels of two other companies, Tadano and Terex, which ended relations with Iran following awareness campaigns by United Against Nuclear Iran (UANI) warning construction companies of Iran’s grisly misuse of cranes.

Officials from UNIC wrote to United Against Nuclear Iran, stating that they will no longer sell products to Iran or profit from such sales. The company added that they "will not accept orders for any of our products if such products are known to be destined for Iran."

Crane manufacturer ends ties with IR regime

If there is any symbol which embodies the excesses of the Islamic Republic it is the crane. Thousands of Iranians were hanged mercilessly and without due process on this aparatus especially at the beginning of the Islamic Republic. 

The decision of Furukawa UNIC should be welcomed and lets hope other manufacturers of industrial or commerical products follow suit.

I wonder whether the 'No Sactions' NIAC brigade would welcome such a decision?
