London, August 1,
-- On the morning of July 27, the armed forces of
the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan killed three
workers and injured 13 more at the Tasloja cement
factory in Sulaimaniyah in Kurdistan-Iraq. The
workers' only crime was to be taking part in a
protest demanding higher wages and the reinstatement
of 300 workers sacked by the administration.
This outrage is the latest episode in the Kurdish
nationalist organisations' campaign of repression
against the Kurdish people, and in particular
against the Kurdish working class.
Iraqi and British labour movement activists will be
protesting outside the PUK's London office today to
demand justice for the Tasloja workers and an end to
anti-working-class repression in Kurdistan.
