Dear Comrades,
The regime of the Islamic Republic is in deep political-economic-social crises. The living conditions of the workers and toilers have worsened every year. The set of conditions ruling the masses' livelihood have left them no option except opposing the rulers and waging fights against the entirety of the unpopular regime of the Islamic Republic. In order to change the situation, the working class that carries out the heaviest burden of the economic crisis on its shoulders tries to strengthen its power and to establish combatant and stable labour organisations and to open to the society the path of wide-spread and all-sided battles against the ruling powers. The authorities of the Islamic Republic are fearful of unity and solidarity between the workers. They have found no solution to the intolerable living conditions of workers except detaining, suppressing, and imprisoning the activists. The regime has taken these reactionary actions many times in the past but has not been able to crush the workers' struggles. The fire of the workers' and people's protest movement is inextinguishable. Many hundreds of strike, sit in, demonstration, slow work, and even direct confrontation with the regime's repressive forces are witnesses to this fact. Solidarity and unity in their independent organisations is the key point for the workers to succeed in the struggles for a better life. When this unity and solidarity is expanded to the other sectors of the workforce, when it is elevated to a higher level by equipping itself with socialist consciousness taught by the party of the working class, then it becomes such a powerful objective force that is capable of crushing the regime's reactionary repressive machinery and transferring the ownership of the means of production to the public and establishing socialism for itself and the toilers.
The Party of
Labour of Iran (Toufan) supports the just struggles of the worker-activists to
bring about a better and humane living condition. We praise their attempts to
form independent trade unions. We condemn their arrest, imprisonment, and
mistreatment. We call on our fraternal Marxist-Leninist Parties and
Organisations, all pro labour forces, and all progressive minded individuals of
the world to raise voice, in any possible way, against the regime of the
Islamic Republic of Iran for its recent detainment in the city of
Only the intensification of the struggle of the Iranian masses and the genuine international support for Iranian people can force the regime of the Islamic Republic to retreat and to stop the repression of the Iranian people.
Release all worker-activists immediately and unconditionally!
Long live the struggles of the Iranian working class!
Down with the capitalist regime of the Islamic Republic, by the
hands of the Iranian people!
Long live freedom and socialism!
The Party of Labour of
