Iraqi trade union activists being Murdered

In the last few weeks, we've reported on a number of murders of Iraqi
trade union activists, most notably the killing in early January of Hadi
Saleh, head of international affairs for the Iraqi Federation of Trade
Unions (IFTU), who was tortured and killed in his Baghdad home.

We now have the chance to speak out loudly and clearly against the targeting of trade unionists by terrorist death squads by adding our names to the
global appeal to save the life of one Iraqi trade unionist. His name is
Nozad Ismail and he heads up the IFTU in the city of Kirkuk. Nozad's
life has been threatened repeatedly, and there have been at least two
attempts on his life. I strongly urge you to add your name to this
appeal today:
