Shahid Farzad Kamangar, schoolteacher, trade unionist, murdered in secret by the Iranian régime. He had been sentenced to death after a trial which lasted five minutes.

Old, tired and somewhat disillusioned, but trying to keep up standards. Aware that capitalism cannot be reformed, but despairing of its dissolution in the near future, I use whatever means are available to me to avoid capitulation. I join forces with other resisters in the Industrial Workers of the World.
