Girls’ education and teachers under attack in Iraq
COMRADES - Iraqi teacher trades union activists are enduring persecution and violent attacks from the forces of reaction (aka The Glorious Resistance) because of their commitment to education for all (including girls) and their attempts to contribute to the rebuilding of civil society. The situation in Baghdad is particularly serious.
Please send messages of solidarity and support to Sister Safa Abdul- Amer (Um Furat) and to the Iraqi Teachers Union via Abdullah Muhsin at A.Muhsin@unison.co.uk

The Iraqi teachers Union condemn strongly the vicious attacks on the Head of the Al Maali School.
استنكار
The Iraqi teachers union condemn strongly the criminal attack which colleague Safa Abdul-Amer (Um Furat) was subjected too. Mu Furat is the head of al Maali School for girls. She very well known trade union campaigner. She was attacked by a bunch of oppressive and ignorant people who are trying desperately to hinder the progress of the political process in all its fields through the liquidation of key trade unions leaders’ and scientists.
We wish Safa a speedy recovery and shame on the criminal murders.
