Danish Trade Unions, Women’s Organizations, and Civil Rights Institutions Stand with the People of Iran Against Killing and Repression!
On the occasion of the 40th day marking the deaths of thousands of dear lives lost in January 2026 at the hands of the Islamic Republic, Danish trade unions and the Danish women’s community, while condemning the killing of the Iranian people by the regime and expressing solidarity with the people of Iran, have declared their sympathy and solidarity with the families of those killed and arrested and have called for the immediate release of all detainees.
It should be noted that Amnesty International Denmark, women’s organizations, trade unions, and left-wing parties are organizing broad campaigns in various forms in support of the people of Iran. Among them, nine organizations—including Amnesty International, a trade union, a women’s organization, and socialist parties—organized a demonstration on January 25 in cooperation with the Women–Life–Freedom Committee in Denmark.
So far, four trade unions and the Danish Women’s Society have issued statements to commemorate the 40th day of the fallen, and other unions and institutions will be added to this list in the coming days.
