June 21, 2012
The International Transport Workers' Federation (ITF) has sped up the release of Said Elhairech, a Moroccan union member that is general secretary of the UMT (Union DES Syndicats UMT DES Transports), affiliated Moroccan union to the ITF, and president of the regional committee of the Arabic world of the ITF. International the trade-union union has denounced that Said Elhairech is arrested 16th june in order to have carried out lawful trade-union activity, between which the assistance to the marine ones abandoned in France and Spain because of the cessation of the activity of the companies Comarit and Comanav.
“The motivations adduced for its arrest - the general secretary of the ITF, David Cockroft has protested - are so dark to be almost stunning. In particular, there are same absolutely groundless voices second which Said working with some managing of the Comarit, of which the arrest is announced, in order to plan the failure of the company. This is well and truly good trash. Said and its union, with the labor organizations in Spain and France and the local inspectors of ITF were being beaten untiringly in favor of the marine ones abandoned. Assistance from ITF is asked directly while last year it fought for the acknowledgment of the union, and does not have some doubt that has been its ability in both cases that have carried to this sopruso. It is not other - it has emphasized Cockroft - than a retaliation against an active union member and we expect that the Moroccan government for liberalo immediately”.
