Iranian Trade Unionist to be Hanged Today
There has been news circulating that jailed Iranian teacher union activist, Farzad Kamangar, may be hanged within the next few hours. According to the Education International, he has been taken from his cell in Tehran's Evin prison in preparation for execution. The guards have told him he is about to be executed and they are making fun of him, calling him a martyr.
We need your help and we need it right now. Farzad's only "crime" was to belong to the Teacher's Union of Kurdistan and be an activist.
