Against the backdrop of ‘Supreme Leader’ Khameini coming out in favour of Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and against further demonstrations and unrest, it is particularly encouraging that both shifts at the Iran Khodro car plant have come out on strike. They have issued a statement condemning the repression and saying that what they are witnessing is an insult to people’s intelligence. These workers have a particular history of militancy and combativity and HOPI is doing all it can to support them.
Don’t you mean Khameini? Khomeini died in the late 80’s
