Esmail Abdi’s long struggle for justice
Esmail Abdi, a leading Iranian teacher trade unionist, was the subject of two LabourStart campaigns in the last year, the first one after he was blocked from attending a congress of the Education International (EI) in Canada.
This week we’ve launched a third campaign at the request of the EI now that he’s been sentenced to 6 years in prison.
Here are the results of those campaigns:
- July 2015: 12,698
- February 2016: 6,307
- November 2016 (so far): 4,367
Please take a moment to spread news of this campaign in your country and to your unions — especially teachers unions. Thanks.
