Free Iranian Teacher and Labor Activist Rasoul Badaghi

This petition was published by John S. Burke on Jun 14, 2012

WHEREAS: Rasoul Bodaghi is clearly a prisoner of conscience who is being persecuted solely for the peaceful exercise of his rights to freedom of expression and association;

AND WHEREAS: Article 22 of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR), to which Iran is a signatory state, specifies that “everyone shall have the right to freedom of association with others, including the right to form and join trade unions for the protection of his interests;

THEREFORE: We the undersigned demand that the international community declare Mr. Bodaghi's continued detention illegal and bring all possible pressure to bear upon the Islamic Republic of Iran to immediately and unconditionally release him.
