A former member of the Iranian F.l. group faces deportation from Holland The European Union countries are using their new policy of "critical dialogue" with Iran to justify the deportation of refugees from the Mullahs' regime. Holland has already deported 20 Iranian asylum seekers. At least one was arrested and tortured when he arrived in Iran.

A similar fate now faces Bahman Mouri Sardarabadi, who fled Iran after being arrested and tortured because of his membership of the Iranian Fourth Internationalist group HKS (Socialist Workers Party). The Dutch authorities have now rejected his asylum appeal, and plan to deport him back to almost certain death.

Hundreds of protest signatures have already been collected. A range of political, anti-racist, and youth groups, and Members of the German, Danish and European Parliaments are urging the Dutch authorities to grant Bahman political asylum.

We ask all readers to protest against the impending expulsion of Bahman Mouri Sardarabadi and to demand political asylum for him.

Disney Haiti Justice Campaign Pocahantas pyjamas cost $12 in New York. The Haitian women who make them get 5-7 cents. No wonder workers at Disney subcontractors are trying to organize. We want Disney to stop doing business with subcontractors who refuse their workers' demands for • A wage of at least 55 per day (double current rates) • genuine collective bargaining. • Improved working conditions, such as clean drinking water. • An end to indiscriminate layoffs, and firings for union organizing. We have postcards, fact sheets and other materials which you can adapt for local organizing efforts. & Disney/Haiti Justice Campaign, PO.
