This is a statement from A group of workers employed in Iran Khodro, Irans largest car plant. It vividly describes the exploitation suffered by Iranian workers both at the hands of Iranian Capitalist employers and from the Iranian Capitalist State. The Iranian Workers issued this statement on September 17. The full text of the statement is at the link. Friends and fellow workers: Sharivar 22 [September 13] is the anniversary of the death of our fellow worker, Peyman Razilou. On that day in 2002 he died from exhaustion during the afternoon shift. His death was four years ago and we haven’t forgotten that tragedy - or the untimely death of our colleague, Mahmood Khayami, who died from stress. And this year we have witnessed another death - this time it was Ali Akbar Shourgashti who was killed because Iranian capitalists pay no attention to health and safety regulations. read full story / add a comment

Under a storm of controversy Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad was invited to speak at Columbia University in New York City. Ahmadinejad is in New York for the UN General Assembly meeting. The Iranian President had already caused controversy by seeking to visit the site of the Twin Towers disaster. The request was swiftly denied by the US authorities. The invitation to speak at Columbia was attacked by many across the political spectrum of the US despite many US citizens priding themselves on the right to free speech. The Iranian Presidents speech to the University has come at a time when the US establishment has increased its propaganda war against Iran in what appears to many as a precursor to war. read full story / add a comment

This is an interview conducted by Peter Tatchell with Mark Fischer and Yassamine Mather . There is also some commentary below in which Peter Tatchell makes clear the case against US aggresion towards Iran Neither Washington nor Tehran. A war against Iran would be another disastrous neo-imperial adventure, which would strengthen the Tehran dictatorship. The overthrow of the clerical regime by the Iranian people - not US military intervention - is the best way to resolve the nuclear crisis and prevent a needless, unjustified war. Peter Tatchell interviews Mark Fischer of Hands Off the People of Iran and Yassamine Mather of Workers Left Unity Iran, 21 September 2007. read full story / add a comment

mayo / environment / other press Monday September 24, 2007 16:16 by IT READER
For those without a subscription, here's the text of the long article in last Saturday's IT about the Corrib Gas dispute. It makes interesting reading, and gives a fairly balanced account of the recent history of Shell's scheme. Sadly, the lie that the project will provide 700 jobs is repeated as if it was a fact. Careful readers will notice that Shell never commit themselves to this (or any) figure, instead using meaningless phrases like "up to 700 jobs in the construction phase", etc. The Shell PR machine now seems to think that if it repeats the notion that the majority of the people in Erris actually support the scheme then it will become accepted. The company's plan, to install a high pressure pipeline and a huge refinery in a area of bogs which is prone to landslides, has never enjoyed local support, but Shell says the people of the local communities have "moved on". The coming months will show how much support Shell has. read full story / add a comment
international / anti-capitalism / press release Monday September 24, 2007 12:21 by WPRM
The democratic aspirations of the Nepalese people have been betrayed by the current regime. It is no longer possible for the Communist Party of Nepal (Maoist)-CPN (M)- to remain in government. This government was formed under the premiership of Nepal Congress leader Koirala. It was set up following the struggle against Nepal's autocratic monarchy in April 2006. This government, which included Nepal's eight main parties, was meant to hold elections to a Constituent Assembly. However, the continued existence of the monarchy is putting these elections under serious threat. The monarchy is spreading violence and disorder, in order to undermine democracy. The continuing failure of the government to declare a republic has left the Maoists with no choice but to declare a nation-wide people's movement to fight for a republic and the other just and democratic demands of the people, from the streets. read full story / add a comment
