The murder of Jina Mahsa Amini on September 16, assassinated by the morality police for an ill-fitting veil, triggered a popular uprising unprecedented in its scope, depth and duration. In less than 48 hours, the slogan “Woman, Life, Freedom” spread throughout the country, and the world, like wildfire. This groundswell marks a radical break with the Islamic Republic and a refusal of the return of a monarchic regime.

The demonstrators tirelessly demand the fall of the Islamic Republic. This radical protest movement brings together women, youth, national minorities and workers in a radical rejection of the capitalist, theocratic and misogynistic regime of the mullahs.

The uprising has been going on for a long time and has affected more than 160 cities, large and small. In the face of this, the authorities have launched a ferocious repression. More than 500 deaths, thousands of injured, more than 19000 prisoners and missing persons, kidnappings, torture and rapes... the barbarity of this regime has no limit. The judiciary pronounces heavy sentences against people who have demonstrated, some are sentenced to death and executed in the aftermath.

In this context, the entry into struggle of the working class constitutes a central stake in the outcome of the current confrontation. Workers who take strike action are severely repressed.

They are arrested, fired, tortured and face exorbitant legal costs. In order to support them and to contribute to the payment of legal fees, Socialist Solidarity with Workers in Iran (SSTI) is launching a financial solidarity campaign. The aim is to develop a concrete internationalist solidarity with those who are courageously struggling under difficult conditions.
