This morning (27th July) the PUK injured 13 workers at a factory in Tasloja in Sulaimaniya in Iraq.
The workers' only crime was to be taking part in a picket of a cement factory calling for an increase of wages. This is a clear infringement of democratic rights and basic freedom of expression.

Dear Friends,
We contacted the Kurdish General Workers Syndicate Union in Suleymania about this incident. They were the organisers of the protest. They have told us that although 13 protesters were injured, no one has been killed. In addition, they were shot at by private security guards employed by the cement factory, not by the PUK. The security guards were sunsequently arrested by the police and the union says the authorities are co-operating with them. It would be helpful if you could correct the story and check sources more thoroughly in furure.

Dear comrade,
We had also received this revised information within a few days of the incident, and a clarification was sent out on the IUS email list.
However, we had every reason to trust the sources who reported it to us - not only our friends in the Federation of Workers' Councils and Unions and Iraq, but also reputable news sites such as LabourStart, had reported this version of events
