The global trade union organizations, International Trade Union Confederation (ITUC), International Transport Workers’ Federation (ITF), Education International (EI) and International Union of Food workers (IUF), have called for a Global Solidarity Action Day on 26 June to highlight the cases of Mansour Ossanloo and other jailed trade unionists, including those still in detention following the repression of the May Day rallies last month. Amnesty International is supporting this Action Day and expects events to take place in many countries. Amnesty International activists are invited to work with trade unions to shape these events and to support the planned actions. Sections are invited to work with the national unions in their countries to help promote the Action Day through joint press statements and actions.
