A-Infos (en) France, UCL - Revolutionary solidarity with the women and strikers of Iran! (ca, de, fr, it, pt, tr)[machine translation]

On this September 16, 2023, one year after the feminicide of Jîna Mahsa 
Aminî in Iran by the moral police, we, activists of the Libertarian 
Communist Union gathered in federal coordination in Grenoble, reiterate 
our feminist and internationalist support for Iranian women in struggles 
and strikers on this day of mobilization in Iran. ---- On September 16, 
2022, Jîna Mahsa Aminî, a 22-year-old young Iranian Kurdish woman, was 
murdered by the Tehran morality police after being arrested and tortured 
for "wearing inappropriate clothing" revealing her hair. Jîna suffered 
the double violence of patriarchy and the repression of the Iranian 
state against the Kurdish community.

This femicide led to a revolutionary wave in the country, in Tehran and 
more particularly in the regions of Rojhilat (Iranian Kurdistan) and 
Baluchistan, both the poorest and the first victims of the nationalist 
and imperialist policy of the Iranian state. . From now on, Iranian 
society is being built against the Islamic Republic and against the 
State. This movement embodies the failure of decades of ethnic and 
social divisions exacerbated by power and the rise of new links between 
oppressed minorities. In all these communities, it is women who are on 
the offensive against the criminal alliance of patriarchy, the religious 
fundamentalist state and capitalism. They are the spearhead of the 
"Woman, Life, Freedom" revolution which has radically transformed 
Iranian society and its values.

The capture of oil wealth by the Iranian state and capitalists also 
fuels legitimate popular anger.

The Iranian regime can only hold on through violence. A year later, he 
continues his bloody repression against women, Kurds, Baluchis and all 
political opponents of his authoritarian and reactionary project. The 
families of those detained or murdered were victims of arbitrary arrests 
and prohibitions from gathering for the commemoration of Jîna's murder. 
On this anniversary of the start of the uprisings, six Kurdish 
organizations in Iran called for a general strike on September 16, 2023 
in Kurdistan and Iran, inviting all revolutionaries and progressives 
from abroad to support it in all ways possible.

In solidarity, the Libertarian Communist Union condemns the repression 
and crimes of the Iranian state, particularly against women in their 
struggles for democracy and freedom. We support all women oppressed by 
the Iranian regime and all their actions aimed at destroying it. We all 
support all the workers on strike today in Iran. This revolutionary 
perspective brings hope for all the people of the Middle East.

When women stand up, people move forward. Long live the women's 
revolution, in Iran and all over the world! Justice for Jîna! Jin Jiyan 
Azadi!
