On 14th March 2019, sugar cane workers of Haft Tapeh in Khuzestan province, Iran, circulated a petition in support of their jailed leader, Esmaeil Bakhshi.
Many workers signed the petition and started a fresh protest against the workers’ representative imprisonment who is under pressure from the authorities to take back his claims of being tortured whilst he was in custody previously.
A part of the petition reads: “We, the workers of Haft Tapeh, confirm that Esmaeil Bakhshi has been our legal representative and his sole aim has been to secure workers’ rights. Therefore, we demand his immediate and unconditional release.”
