Jump To Comment: 1 2One year after his arrest, Mansour remains in prison, here is a statement by his union. Full text at the link.
Mansour Osanloo, President of the Syndicate of Workers of the Tehran and Suburbs (Vahed) Bus Company was travelling home when he was captured by plainclothes agents. His family and the Vahed Syndicate inquired and after several days of no news, the spokesperson for the judiciary announced that he was in Evin prison. One year has passed and despite the repeated appeals of the family and attorneys of Mansour, and despite eye and heart conditions, he remains in prison.
The Vahed Syndicate condemns the summons and arraignment of Mr. Osanloo without an attorney present, and the capture of Mr. Gholamreza Gholamhosseini, and demands the release of the abovementioned. We appeal to all labor organizations, to form a truth-seeking committee to pursue these cases, to demand official recognition of The Vahed Syndicate, to seek reinstatement of the sacked workers, as well as to demand the freedom of imprisoned workers who are jailed for defending workers rights.
With hopes to expand peace and justice throughout the world,
The Syndicate of Workers of the Tehran and Suburbs (Vahed) Bus Company

Here is information regarding anotherVahed member who has been arrested. Full text at linkl.
While it has been almost one week since the capture of Gholamreza Gholamhosseini, a member of the Vahed Syndicate, and his transfer to the Evin prison, the reason for his arrest still has not been disclosed. According to Dastranj news site, Mr. Reza Shahabi, a member of the Vahed Syndicate Board of Directors, announced "the responsible authorities are still not willing to make any official explanations about the reason for the arrest."
Gholamreza, one of the Vahed Company suspended drivers was arrested by the military when he tried to speak to the Mayor and the CEO of the Vahed Bus Company about the lack of enforcement of the judiciary branch's order to reinstate him to his job. While the judiciary was unaware of the reason for the arrest of Gholamreza, it is alleged that Gholamreza told his friends the day after his arrest during his transfer to Evin prison that Judge Haddad had personally issued a warrant for his arrest based on "disturbing public order."
