Finally, some good news from Iran.Esmail Abdi, leader of the Iranian teachers union, has been allowed to leave the notorious Evin Prison.
It is a temporary reprieve from his six-year sentence. He can be re-arrested at any moment.
Nevertheless, it is good news. And it shows the power of campaigning by the international trade union movement.
LabourStart has run several campaigns going back a number of years demanding Abdi's freedom.
