There will be a silent protest outside Flinders Street Railway Station at 10am on Thursday. Meet under the clocks at 10am, wearing as much green as you can to show your support for the Iranian freedom movement. We will sit down (either on the steps under the clocks or over at Federation Square) and show our support for the freedom of Iran and the cancelling of the recent election result. Bring banners, anything coloured green, whatever you need. I would like to reiterate that this is a PEACEFUL PROTEST. At no stage will we be resorting to violence. That brings us down to the same level of those who are perpertrating the violence in Iran. Show your true colours and wear green on Thursday morning.

OIL WORKER's STRIKE Oil revenues account for 80% of the government's incoming budget. A national strike could prove to be a powerful tool in crippling the establishment forces inside Iran. Iran exports around 3 percent of the world's crude oil. http://iran.whyweprotest.net/middle-east/1879-worldwide-26-june-2009-a.html

Join workers, unions and progressive and human rights activists in protest against the gross violation of workers’ and human rights in Iran. For 30 years, the Islamic Republic of Iran has imposed appalling political, economic and social conditions on workers and impoverished people. Iranian workers have consistently witnessed the imposition of anti-labour and neo-liberal policies and practices, such as privatizations and mass lay offs while having no rights to organize or strike in addition to facing ongoing persecution and imprisonment.

The current wave of massive protests in Iran following the fraud election is a clear indication of people’s total dissatisfaction with the government. Organise a photo session and send it to:- info@justiceforiranianworkers.org

We will post them on our campaign page. A collection of these photos will become a visually strong message of protest and solidarity!

HOW NON-IRANIANS CAN HELP:

TWITTER - Change your location and time zone on Twitter to Tehran, Iran (that’s GMT+3:30).

- Change your profile icon to green in some way.

- Set up a proxy and send a DM to @ProtesterHelp.

- DO NOT retweet posts verbatim from Iran. This puts the users at risk. The Iranian Minstry of the Interior is watching Twitter closely now. Don’t use names and reword the post.

- Submit e-mails to CNN, MSNBC, Fox and other news sources about the Iranian Revolution; demand more coverage.

- DO NOT DDOS (PageReload) Iranian government websites. It slows all Iranian traffic, doing more harm than good in this information war.
