TRANSPORT UNION RMT has expressed its revulsion at the brutal torture and murder of Hadi Saleh, International Secretary of the Iraqi Federation of Trade Unions (IFTU) at his Baghdad home earlier this week (January 4).
"This callous murder was aimed at undermining the development of free trade unions in Iraq," said RMT president Tony Donaghey.
He said that the tragedy only reinforced the union's policy of opposing the illegal attacks on Iraq and in support of Iraqi trade unionists.
"I only met Hadi in London recently and his commitment to building independent and democratic trade unions in his country was clear.
"On behalf of RMT I wish to pass on our condolences and sympathy both to the family of Hadi Saleh and to the IFTU," Tony Donaghey said.
