In Iran: Mansour Osanloo's health deteriorating

UNISON is supporting Amnesty International’s urgent action calling for trade union leader, Mansour Osanloo, an Amnesty prisoner of conscience, to receive emergency medical treatment. So far the Iranian authorities are denying him this urgently needed treatment. Mansour Osanloo is the leader of the Vahed Bus Company workers’ union in Tehran , Iran , an independent trade union in a country with an official trade union movement and a track record of persecuting independent trade unionists, etc.Mansour has been in jail since July 2007, and his health is deteriorating in part because of the brutal beatings he has received from the security services.
