We received these solidarity statements with the Egyptian revolution from Iraqi trade unionists and women's organisations, via Akram Nadir (Union Organizer in Iraq and Kurdistan).
While the flames of revolution engulf the whole of the Middle East in Syria left activists face severe punishment merely for expressing their views. We call on our readers and supporters to send protest letters/emails to the Syrian authorities demanding the release of four activists sentenced to several years in prison on January 23.
