Treatment Of Mansour Ossanlou And Tehran Bus Drivers
EDM number 372 in 2006-07, proposed by John McDonnell on 30/11/2006.
That this House notes with great concern reports that Mansour Ossanlou, the leader of the Vahed Bus Company Trade Union in Tehran, was abducted by plain-clothes agents after a violent assault, that these agents presented no arrest warrants or identity papers, and that during this assault they also pointed a gun at Ebrahim Madadi, Mr Ossanlou's deputy, and shot a bullet over his head; urges the Iranian government to release Mr Ossanlou unconditionally, including revoking the bail that is equivalent to 125 years' wages; and therefore calls upon the Government to press the Iranian government to respect trade union rights and International Labour Organisations conventions.
This motion has been signed by a total of 32 MPs.
