9 May 7.30 pm Victoria Hotel Cork

International tensions being ratcheted shows strong likelihood of attack on Iran. We need a principled solidarity campaign with the people of Iran, rather than its regime.

Contact Anne McShane on anne@hopoi.onfo or on 086 2343238

The initiative to set up this important campaign was taken by Iranian political activists and organisations who oppose the Islamic regime in Iran and also stand against any imperialist sanctions or attack. It has links with students, womens' organisations and workers struggles in Iran who are fighting for their rights there and are also against US or UN intervention.

An organisation has been set up in Britain and meetings have taken place in the United States as well as in other European countries. See the website for more details of supporters and the founding statement, news from Iran, activities and recent statements - www.hopoi.org

Yassamine Mather, a leading Iranian political activist and writer will be the main speaker at the meetings in Cork, Dublin and Belfast to launch the Irish campaign. She will give details of the situation in Iran and the links that have been made with the movements there as well as an analysis of the current crisis.

Sign up to the campaign and come along to the meetings. Contact Anne McShane on anne@hopoi.info for more information.
