The Coordinating Council of Iranian Education Workers and Teachers’ Trade Association has issued a statement to announce that a group of its members will go on hunger strike to protest the “illegal execution and imprisonment sentences” issued to a number of teachers.
The statement reads that the executive members of the Teachers’ Trade Association and a number of associated labour activists will start a hunger strike on May 2, 2010, which is National Teacher’s Day. It calls on all Iranian teachers to participate.
The Association calls for the “immediate and unconditional release” of all teachers from prison and a withdrawal of all legal and official actions against “critical educators.” The signatories call for better provisions for public schools through oil and gas revenues. They also request that partiality and political maneuvers be avoided when developing school curricula. They demand an end to the “security-tight atmosphere” in the Ministry of Education and job security for teachers.
The statement also calls for an end to the “promotion of spies” in schools and all forms of persecution for “critical” educators.”
The statement contends that teachers who join a demonstration or a gathering or represent their ideas on education or discuss publicly the difficulties they face in their profession are “persecuted beyond the law and their voices do not reach far.”
The letter refers to Mahmoud Ahmadinejad’s statement that describes Iran as the “freest country in the world” and questions heavy sentences like “execution, imprisonment, exile, forced retirement, demotion and suspension” issued to “caring and honest teachers of the country.”
The statement lists the names of imprisoned teachers including Badaghi, Khastar, Davari, and Momeni who have been sentenced to long prison terms that “have led to the “loss of livelihood for their families.” On the execution sentences issued to teachers Farzad Kamangar and Abdolreza Ghanbari, the Association states that the rulings are “not befitting for the Islamic Republic.”

Hands down, Apple’s app store wins by a mile. It’s a huge selection of all sorts of apps vs a rather sad selection of a handful for Zune. Microsoft has plans, especially in the realm of games, but I’m not sure I’d want to bet on the future if this aspect is important to you. The iPod is a much better choice in that case.
I’ll gear this review to 2 types of people: current Zune owners who are considering an upgrade, and people trying to decide between a Zune and an iPod. (There are other players worth considering out there, like the Sony Walkman X, but I hope this gives you enough info to make an informed decision of the Zune vs players other than the iPod line as well.)
Between me and my husband we’ve owned more MP3 players over the years than I can count, including Sansas, iRivers, iPods (classic & touch), the Ibiza Rhapsody, etc. But, the last few years I’ve settled down to one line of players. Why? Because I was happy to discover how well-designed and fun to use the underappreciated (and widely mocked) Zunes are.
A person essentially help to make seriously articles I would state. This is the very first time I frequented your web page and thus far? I surprised with the research you made to make this particular publish incredible. Magnificent job!
Sorry for the huge review, but I’m really loving the new Zune, and hope this, as well as the excellent reviews some other people have written, will help you decide if it’s the right choice for you.

I dont truly know what you talking about right here on cat guide. This cant be the only way to think about this can it? It seems like you understand a lot, so why not explore it a lot more? Make it more accessible to everyone else who might not concur with you? Youd get a lot more individuals behind this should you just stopped making common statements.
