We
write this letter to all human rights organisations, trade unions, parliaments,
students' organisations, women's organisations and the civilised humanity.
Following
our protest movement, in the last few days a new wave of arrests of our student
colleagues has started. More than 20 students have been arrested and jailed by
the security forces. Even workers' activists have been jailed too. The latest
is the case of Mr. Mahmood Salehi in Sagez who is well known for his defence of
workers' rights. A few women activists are also in jail. These arrests continue
and happen every day. As though this was not enough, we are faced with poverty,
lack of rights and inflation resulting from economic sanctions. Life is harder
than any other time and people are being suffocated. The nightmare of possible
war has left people with fear and lack of security and has given opportunity to
the government to impose yet more restrictions on people. The level of poverty
and economic insecurity is horrendous. Our struggle continues.
We
say the same thing as University students said on 16th Azar, Students'
Day! The same as women and men said on 8th March! Workers said in their
strikes and demonstrations! We want happiness, health, education and welfare
for all! We demand an end to gender discrimination! We want equality between
men and women! We have the right to speak out, protest, criticize and organise!
Has the world not gained civilization and human rights? We want to have a life fit
for human beings and want people of the world to support us! Unfortunately,
today's world is divided by borders and nation identity. However, we must
remind ourselves that we all posses universal human identity. We have the right
to live like humans and enjoy human values and respect! We are reaching your
hearts!
Support
us! Make our demands yours!

University and the release of all students!

· Demand a secure life, political and social rights, respect and welfare for all!
· Demand an end to economic sanction, war and terrorism; and support the struggle of people in Iran!
We

respect and appreciate human solidarity! Human solidarity has no borders!
