Iran: Report by activists of Militant on the clashes in Tehran on Ashura, 27th December 2009 By Militant Iran We publish an eyewitness report of the events that unfolded on Ashura, 27th December 2009, in Tehran. They give a taste of the sheer determination of the protestors in the face of brutal police repression.

As the comrade says, "the rebellious atmosphere that I saw does not want to go home!" 12,000 Tekel workers to go on death fast in the heart of Turkey?

No obstante el efecto de la crisis más importante ha sido el impacto generado entre la población trabajadora, la cual, una vez más, ha podido contemplar como sus esperanzas en que su situación podría mejorar desaparecieron. Esto no sólo porque la crisis ha significado una serie de despidos y la disminución de fuentes de trabajo, sino porque la burguesía ha aprovechado la crisis para emprender una ofensiva en todos los frentes en contra de los trabajadores.
