On Tuesday, October 11th, Mexican workers and students demonstrated outside the Iranian embassy to protest against the lack of democratic rights for the Iranian workers.
We workers, and sons and daughters of workers, firmly believe in the need to defend the democratic rights of workers on an international scale. We believe that under this capitalist system these rights have been won through the heroic struggles of our class. That is why we believe that it is unacceptable that our Iranian class brothers do not benefit from these rights which we have conquered on an international level and that on the contrary they suffer repression simply for protesting against the reactionary regime that governs their country.
Steeped in the good internationalist traditions we consider the struggles of our brothers as our struggle and we are prepared to demonstrate as often as it is necessary, shoulder to shoulder with our class internationally.
We presented a petition of protest with 52 signatures of workers from different trade unions, such as SME, SNTSS, SINTCB, SUTER, SNTE, SITUAM, Coalición Textil de Puebla, etc., student leaders from 20 faculties from UNAM, IPN, UAM and BUAP, as well as the promoting committee of the Socialist Youth of the PRD. The signatures were taken by the Consul for Diplomatic Affairs of the Embassy, Joi Joseini.
For the unlimited defence of democratic rights for Iranian workers!
Workers of all countries unite!
