WHO IS THIS MAN?
His name is Mansour Osanloo, leader of the Tehran Bus Workers' Union
and the focus of an international campaign that aims to get him
released from jail.

WHY IS HE IMPRISONED?
In October 2007 Osanloo was sentenced to five years in prison on
trumped up charges of endangering Iran’s national security and
criticising the regime. However, the real reason that he has been
targeted is as a member of a free trade union not controlled by the
government.

The IWW and friends won their epic 8-month battle to prevent the closure of Crichton Campus, Dumfriesshire, part of the University of Glasgow. In February, the university refused to take new admissions for courses based at Crichton, as it planned to close its Arts and Humanities faculties there at the end of this academic year.
