PUK Attacks Striking Workers in Cement Factory – 27 July 06

This morning the Kurdish nationalist PUK party killed 3 workers and
injured 13 more at a factory in Tasloja in Sulaimaniya in Iraq. The
workers only crime was to be taking part in a picket of a Cement 
factory
calling for an increase of wages. This is a clear infringement of
democratic rights and basic freedom of expression.

organisations to send messages to Jalal Talabani, who was selected as
president of Iraq in April, condemning this action.
