Latest news about Ali Nejati

Ali Nejati’s wife was finally able to meet with him on March 5th after nearly one month since his arrest on March 8, 2009. In this visit, Mr. Nejati’s morale was very high; he defended Haft Tapeh workers’ union and the fact that all allegations against workers are unjust and wrong. Mr. Nejati has been detained by the Intelligence Ministry in the City of Ahwaz, Khuzistan province. Nejati as well as a number of other union activists have been persecuted and charged with "acting against national security" as a result of their labour activity and the formation of their trade union.
