Iranian teacher unionist Mahmoud Beheshti Langroodi has been on hunger strike since November 26 to protest against his unfair trial and subsequent 9-year prison sentence.Langroodi is one of the six members of the Coordinating Council of the Iranian Teachers Trade Associations (CCITTA) who are in jail.
The five others are Alireza Hashemi (detained since 2007), Abdolreza Ghanbari (detained since January 2010), Rasoul Bodaghi (detained since September 2009), Ali Akbar Baghani (detained since April 2010) and Esmael Abdi (detained since June 2015).
In recent months, the Iranian government has increased the repression of teachers, trying to keep as many leading members of Iranian teachers associations as possible in prison.
LabourStart has partnered with the Education International, representing teacher trade unionists around the world, in a major online campaign to demand their relase.
