BRIEF, IRAQ
Iraq union's offices raided


3 March 2007


On February 23 and 25, US and Iraqi forces raided the head offices of Iraq’s national trade union centre, the General Federation of Iraqi Workers (GFIW). One of the union’s security staff was arrested and later released. The soldiers destroyed furniture and confiscated a computer and fax machine. The union has condemned the attacks as unprovoked and is demanding a written apology from the occupation forces, the return of seized property and compensation for damages. Messages of protest can be lodged at: <http://www.labourstart.org/iraqraid>.
