Statement on the developments in Iran
We follow the important developments in Iran. We express our solidarity with the communists, the members and the friends of Tudeh Party, the working people who struggle for the people’s social and democratic rights, for social progress.
We condemn the repressive policy that under the responsibility of the Iranian government and the security authorities led to the death and the arrest of fighters of the popular movement.
We demand the immediate release of the arrested people and generally the political prisoners who struggle for the peoples interests.
At the same time we explicitly reject every attempt to take advantage of this situation for the escalation of the imperialist intervention in the region. In any case the Iranian people have the right to determine the course of their country themselves.
The development of the anti-imperialist struggle with the labor movement at its forefront, constitutes a prerequisite for the repulse of the imperialist plans and every attempt of the bourgeois forces to manipulate the people so as to bring about positive changes in favour of the people.
