The UN declared that it was "Very concerned" after the death sentence judgement in Iran against two same sex rights activists. They are accused of promoting homosexuality.
Both women, 31 year old Zahra Sedighi Hamedani and 24 year old Elham Chubdar were condemned to death by a tribunal in Urmia in the northwest of Iran.
"We are deeply concerned by the decision to sentence two LGBTQ activists to death in Iran" said Liz Throssell spokesperson for the bureau of rights at the UN.
She lamented that the two women were condemned "on the basis of a vague charge of `corruption on earth` and denied a fair legal trial".
This verdict is often given to those accused of violating the religious laws.
Homosexuality is prohibited in Iran, whose penal code punishes sexual relations between men and between women.
But the punishments for Sedighi Hamedani and Elham Chubadar are especially severe. Amnesty International and other Non-governmental Organisations are opposing these sentences.
The NGO Human Rights in Iran (based in Norway) declared, that the lives of both activists "can be saved by the immediate and forceful reaction of the international community and civil society".

Iranian judiciary has sentenced two LGBTQI activists to death for corruption on earth
6Rang calls for the immediate retraction of the death sentence, and the release of Zahra Sadighi Hamedani (Sareh) and Elham Choubdar.
Sareh and Elham were sentenced to death last week due to their work as LGBTQI rights activists, under fabricated charges. The Islamic Republic of Iran has a long record of repressing activists in this field, as well as ordering executions based on false charges.

UN deklaris sin « tre maltrankvila »
post la kondamno al morto decidita en Irano kontraŭ du aktivulinoj pri
rajtoj de samseksemuloj. Ili estas akuzitaj fari promocion de
samseksemo.
Ambaŭ virinoj, Zahra Sedighi Hamedani, 31-jara kaj Elham Chubdar, 24-jara estis kondamnitaj al morto fare de tribunalo de Urmijo, nord-okcidente de la lando.
« Ni estas profunde maltrankvilaj pro la kondamno al morto decidita kontraŭ du GLATaj aktivulinoj en Irano », deklaris Liz Throssell, porparolanto de la buroo de la rajtoj ĉe UN.
Ŝi bedaŭris, ke ambaŭ virinoj estis kondamnitaj « surbaze
de la malklara akuzo nomita "koruptado sur la Tero", post proceso, kiu
ne estis garantiata de laŭleĝa kaj justa procesa proceduro ».
Tiu verdikto estas ofta en Irano kontraŭ personoj akuzataj, ke ili malobservis la religiajn leĝojn.
Samseksemo estas malpermesita en Irano, ĝia punkodo punas la seksajn rilatojn inter viroj kaj inter virinoj.
Sed la punoj deciditaj kontraŭ Sedighi Hamedani kaj Elham Chubdar estas aparte severaj. Internacia Amnestio kaj aliaj NeRegistaraj Organizaĵoj jam kontraŭis tiujn kondamnojn.
La NRO Iran Human Rights, bazita en Norvegio deklaris, ke la vivo de ambaŭ aktivulinoj « povas esti savita per tujaj kaj fortaj reagoj de la internacia komunumo kaj de la civita socio ».
Discussion and analysis with a member of the KAPD on the party and its activity. Workers Councils in the German Revolution Introduction The Kommunistische Arbeiter Party Deutschland (KAPD) originated in a split in the German Communist Party at the second congress in Heidelberg in October 1919. The majority of the Communist party were expelled for their opposition to parliamentary and Trade Union activity, and founded a new party the KAPD. The interview below is with a founder member of the KAPD, who was active in the German revolution, and is part of the material we plan to us in the [unreadable] a pamphlet on the struggles for WORKERS COUNCILS in the German revolution. The relevance of the struggle in Germany in 1918-23 has been heightened by the rise of SDS and the recent wave of unofficial strikes in the coal, steel and ship building industries. As in France and Italy the question of workers councils is now being debated. AN ACTIVIST S...
The transcript of a 1972 speech by Frank Cedervall, who was involved in the IWW during the 1930s-1950s. Frank Cerdervall – Keynote Speech, IWW Convention 1972 September 7th A man came into the IWW. And he began to interrogate the fellow worker. He said, “Nell, have you heard our speakers?” “No, me no hear the IWW speaker.” “Have you read the preamble?” “Me no hear the Preamble.” “What do you know of Karl Marx?” “Who is he, a tailor?” “Nell, why do you want to join the IWW?” he said “Because I heard the IWW fucks with the boss all the time.” This is the answer, a simple answer. That’s why the employing class has hated the IWW. And that’s why you young men and women in this organisation coming up, some of you may have been tempted by this Socialist Workers Party and these are the people who give you suave, intelligent, well educated people with five or six PHD degrees to lead you out of the wilderness. It’s going to take the dishwashers, the bricklay...
Published in the 1911 edition of the Encyclopedia Britannica, written by Peter Kropotkin. ANARCHISM (from the Gr. an and archos , contrary to authority), the name given to a principle or theory of life and conduct under which society is conceived without government – harmony in such a society being obtained, not by submission to law, or by obedience to any authority, but by free agreements concluded between the various groups, territorial and professional, freely constituted for the sake of production and consumption, as also for the satisfaction of the infinite variety of needs and aspirations of a civilized being. In a society developed on these lines, the voluntary associations which already now begin to cover all the fields of human activity would take a still greater extension so as to substitute themselves for the state in all its functions. They would represent an interwoven network, composed of an infinite variety of groups and fe...
