Mindestlohn für das neue Jahr bestimmt
Der Mindestlohn wird regelmäßig vor Beginn des iranischen Jahres (21.03.2012) durch den obersten Arbeitsrat neu festgesetzt und bekanntgegeben. Der Rat besteht aus Vertretern der Arbeitgeber, Regierung und Arbeitnehmer, wobei die Arbeitnehmervertreter durch Mitglieder des Islamischen Arbeitsrats und nicht durch die Arbeiter selbst ausgewählt sind.
Nun hat der oberste Arbeitsrat eine 18%-Lohnerhöhung für das kommende iranische Jahr beschlossen, somit steigt der Mindestlohn auf 389 tausend und 754 tausend Toman, während staatlichen Angaben zufolge eine Teuerungsrate von 30 bis 40 Prozent vorausgesagt wird. Darüber hinaus liegt dieser Mindestlohn 50% unter der von der Regierung kalkulierten Armutsgrenze.
Verhaftungen bei der Veranstaltung zum 8.März
Am 8.03. fanden anlässlich des Frauentages in mehreren Städten wie Sanandaj, Paweh, Marivan und Kamyaran Veranstaltungen statt. Die Veranstaltung in der Stadt Sanandaj ist durch die Sicherheitskräfte angegriffen worden und mehrere Personen wurden verhaftet. Diese Art der Zeremonie findet jedes Jahr in vielen Ländern auf der ganzen Welt und in vielen Ländern der Region ohne Einschränkung statt. Jedoch in Ländern, in denen die wirtschaftssozialen Strukturen nicht entwickelt sind, sind solche Veranstaltungen Repressionen ausgesetzt. Im Iran wird der Geburtstag von Fatemeh, der Tochter des Propheten Mohammad, als Frauentag gefeiert. Das Veranstaltungskomitee des Frauentags in Sanandaj hat in einer Resolution folgende Forderungen formuliert:
Gleichstellung der Frauen mit den Männern in allen Bereichen des wirtschaftlichen, sozialen und politischen Lebens, Familie und Beruf, sowie die Beseitigung jeder Art von diskriminierenden Gesetzen .
Das Recht auf Scheidung, Sorgerecht, Entscheidungsfreiheit über die Bekleidungsform und das Recht auf Bildung.
Verbot von Polygamie und die zeitweilige Ehe, die nichts anderes als legale Prostitution ist.
Die Abschaffung der Todesstrafe und Steinigung.
Das Verbot und die Anerkennung jeglicher Form von Gewalt als Straftat , ob körperliche, psychische oder sexuelle .
Verbot der geschlechtsspezifischen Trennung auf allen wirtschaftlichen, akademischen und sozialen Ebenen.
Bestrafung der sogenannten Ehren-Mörder.
Verbot der Beschneidung von Kindern unter 18 Jahren.
Gleicher Lohn für gleiche Arbeit für Frauen und Männer.
Anerkennung des 8. März als internationaler Frauentag

Die Ärzte warnen über den Zustand von Reza Shahabi
19.02. Die Ärzte und Verantwortlichen des Evin-Gefängnisses haben angekündigt, dass der Gesundheitszustand von Shahabi kritisch ist und sie keine Verantwortung dafür übernehmen werden.
Shahabi, das Vorstandsmitglied und Schatzmeister der Busfahrergewerkschaft Vahed, sollte im Januar an der Wirbelsäule operiert werden, dies wurde aber wegen seiner körperlich schwachen Verfassung verschoben. Die Ärzte ordneten ihm eine drei monatige absolute Bettruhe unter Beobachtung des Neurochirurgen an. Trotzdem ist er nun wieder ins Gefängnis zurückgeschickt worden. Jetzt wird Reza Shahabi irgendwie von seinen Mitgefangenen gepflegt. Er leidet unter starken Schmerzen. Die nötigen Medikamente, andere Therapiemöglichkeiten und die nötige Ruhe sind im Gefängnis nicht vorhanden, außerdem muss er für jeden Arztbesuch im Gefängnis zu Fuß dorthin bewegen.
Das "Komitee für die Verteidigung von Reza Shahabi" fordert die sofortige Entlassung von Shahabi und die Schließung seiner Akte.

Reza Shahabi’s denial letter regarding the statement published in Vahed syndicate’s website and reconfirmation of his previous statement
Reza Shahabi’s denial letter regarding the statement published in
Vahed syndicate’s website and reconfirmation of his previous statement
Communiqué number 17 from the Reza Shahabi Defence Committee
After the publication of Reza Shahabi’s statement on 19/01/2012, an
article was published in Vahed syndicate’s website in which the
content was false; it was aimed to sabotage the credibility of Reza
Shahabi’s message and to misrepresent its content, which needs to be
addressed. The article that was published in the Syndicate’s website
contained a lie in the name of Reza Shahabi. After Reza Shahabi was
informed of the statement in Vahed syndicate’s website, he wrote a
letter and stated that the statement, which may have been prepared by
only one person with specific aims and motives, was untrue, and hence
he expressed his displeasure of the Syndicate’s website.
It seems that the statement published in the Syndicate’s website is a
combination of imagination, lies and destruction of personal
characteristics and orchestrated by a “writer” with a special interest
against the interest of the labour movement and also contrary to the
beliefs of Reza Shahabi and possibly in order to create problems for
him. The letter which seems to have been written by one “writer” is
reminiscent of the fact that the writer may imagine that the bigger
the lie the more believable it becomes!
However, Reza Shahabi, in his second letter in connection with the
‘Human Rights Award”, again stated that Mehdi Kouhestani is neither
his representative nor a like-minded person and he is not representing
any workers’ organisations in Iran.
Reza Shahabi’s letter is as follows. Here we attached, as an evidence,
a scanned copy of the Reza Shahabi’s first handwritten letter
(statement 19/01/2012) with his signature and his second letter in
which he denied the statement in syndicate’s website.
Reza Shahabi Defence Committee
………………………………………………………………………………………….
With greetings and respect to the board members and activists of Vahed
workers’ Syndicate and to the esteemed members of my defence committee
and all labour activists and organizations;
May I respectfully present, Monday night I was informed of the content
of a statement published in the syndicate’s website, in which it
alleged that Reza Shahabi, has denied his statement published on
19/01/2012 by his defence committee. A statement concerning a human
rights prize that has been given to a person named Mehdi Kouhestani
while neither both my family and I nor my defence committee were aware
of. In fact the reality is that i approve my first letter.
The reality is that Mehdi Kouhestani is neither my representative nor
a like-minded person; he has never had any authority to represent the
Vahed Workers’ Syndicate or any other workers’ organisations in Iran.
After publishing my statement on 19/01/2012 (first letter) by my
defence committee, one of the members of the Vahed syndicate who was
not happy with my statement, on Saturday 21/01.2012 announced that
this statement will raise questions about Mehdi Kouhestani and the
Vahed Syndicate. On the contrary, I believe that my statement, apart
from showing my position, proclaims Vahed syndicate’s independence
from the individuals who pursue anti-worker agenda.
This member of the Syndicate repeatedly asked me to deny my statement.
I declared that; what I have written is nothing but the truth. To
ensure that there are no discrepancies between my original statement,
even unintentionally, and the one that got published, I told him that
I would compare differences in my written text with the one released
by the defence Committee. When I compared them, I realised that there
is no changes in the statement, therefore the Defence Committee had
done their responsibility flawlessly. I hereby declare once more that
the released statement by Reza Shahabi defence committee on 19/01/2012
is fully approved by me.
I am very sorry to see that the statement published in the Syndicate’s
website has absolutely misused my declaration that ” I will compare
the statement with my written text” and hence unfortunately, the whole
statement published in the Syndicate website, with has particular
motives and reasons, is false and fictional.
Dear friends
I announce my objection to the Vahed Syndicate’s website and then to
the organisation that dedicated the prize. I, due to the lack of
access to sufficient information, do not know the funding sources of
this specific organisation and who its members are. It is praiseworthy
if other friends could investigate these cases. I only believe in
contacting with organisations that are striving for the interests of
the labour movement. Nevertheless, my conclusive objection at least is
that why and for what reason and with whose recommendation Mehdi
Kouhestani was selected to receive something on my behalf.
Mehdi Kouhestani is neither my representative and nor a like-minded
person and he is not representing any workers’ organisations in Iran.
In the end, and once again, my request from all is that to consider
all materials published by the Defence Committee of my opinions, and
please contact this committee for all reasons.
Reza Shahabi,
Worker in jail- The Treasurer and a member of the Board of Directors

Reza Shahabi’s communiqué about a human rights award
Reza Shahabi’s communiqué about a human rights award
Communiqué number16 from the Reza Shahabi Defence Committee
I have heard that an award for human rights in the field of labour has been dedicated to me and delivered to a person named “ Mehdi Kouhestani”. I would like to announce publicly that neither me nor my family and friends, who believe in workers' independence, were aware of this event.
It is also necessary to explain that “Mehdi Kouhestani” is neither my representative nor a like-minded person.
Lastly, I would like to ask my friends and all workers and workers' organizations to discuss all cases only with my defense committee.
