Mansoor Hayat Gheibi, member of the executive board of Tehran bus workers' union, was released on 10 April following several days of hunger strike. Although out of prison once on 19 March, along with a number of other colleagues, Hayat Gheibi was re-arrested shortly afterwards. Last week he began a hunger strike in protest at his continued detention... However, union leader Mansoor Ossanlou continues to be detained since 22 December 2005 without any charges or access to a lawyer. He is suffering from a number of medical conditions, including a newly contracted skin disease... A 'disciplinary committee' is reportedly working its way through a long list of workers to be fired for their part in the strike of 28 January. The strike had been called to press for the release of Mansoor Ossanlou, recognition of the bus workers' union and collective bargaining... (Photo: Tehran Bus Company Workers Brutally Attacked )
