Solidarity with the Palestinians! Solidarity with workers, women and students in Iran!
Don't let Iran's theocracy exploit the Palestinian cause for its own ends!
Solidarity with workers, women and students in Iran!
In 1979 Ayatollah Khomeini, leader of the Islamist counter-revolution which crushed the popular uprising against the regime of the Shah of Iran, called for an "international day of Al-Quds" (Jerusalem). This day, supposedly in solidarity with the people of Palestine, is in fact used to promote international support for Iran's Islamic Republic - a viciously misogynistic, homophobic, anti-semitic regime which is currently engaged in a crack-down against workers, women, students and other left-wing and democratic opponents.
In London, we will be counter-demonstrating to say:
- Down with the Islamic Republic, solidarity with workers, women and students in Iran.
- No to war, military attacks or sanctions against Iran.
- Genuine solidarity with the Palestinians, not anti-semitic demagogy. Israel out of the Occupied Territories!
Come and join British and Iranian trade unionists, socialists, student activists and feminists to make solidarity with workers' and other democratic movements across the Middle East - including in Palestine, Israel, Iraq and Iran.
