On March 7 bus loads of members of the Worker Communist Party of Iraq,
the Worker Communist Party of Iran and their supporters held demonstrations
outside the Iraqi and Iranian embassies in Canberra. The demonstrations
were organised to protest against the brutal treatment of women and girls
in these countries. Representatives of the Construction, Forestry, Mining
and Energy Union, the Democratic Socialist Party and the Labor Party also
spoke against the atrocities.
