Pakistani workers express solidarity with their Iranian brothers and sisters Pakistan Share Tweet Hundreds of workers all over Pakistan signed up to the “Iranian workers are not alone” campaign. A short report and pictures of the picket in Quetta. Dear Comrades,We are really sorry that we were not able to get reports in about the pickets in solidarity with the Iranian workers. Our activities, as part of the international the “Iranian workers are not alone” campaign were concentrated in the week just before the earthquake hit and so all our comrades have been very busy in the work of sending help to the stricken area.We have a large number of supporters in Kashmir. Five of our comrades were killed and many others lost family members and homes. Se we are intensely involved in our Caravan Activity.What we had decided to do for the "Iranian workers are not alone campaign" was to launch a three day signature campaign throughout the country for a petition to be handed in to the Iranian Embassy and Consulates in Pakistan. We got about 300 signatures in Lahore, 400 in Rawalpindi, 400 in Quetta, 500 in Karachi and 200 in Peshawer. We got these signatures mainly from lawyers, trade union leaders, political activists, poets, columnists and especially the students. As you can see, we got a very good response to this.After collecting all these signatures we organised pickets in Lahore, Rawalpindi, Quetta, Karachi and Peshawar to submit the petition to the Iranian authorities. Because of the chaos caused by the earthquake and the fact that all comrades then concentrated their efforts on helping the victims, we have only been able to get pictures of the event in Quetta, which we are attachingComradely, Hina in Lahore
