Daß es kein Vergnügen ist, das klerikal-faschistische Mullah-Regime erleiden zu müssen, machen immer wieder Demonstrierende in der Islamischen Republik deutlich, die dabei Gesundheit und Leben riskieren. Wer im Iran nicht nur leben muß, sondern auch noch für eine deutsche Firma arbeitet, den trifft es freilich gleich doppelt:
„A privately owned German company, Knauf Gips KG, warned its Iranian employees working in Iran that they would be immediately dismissed if caught in antigovernment protests, according to a document reviewed by The Wall Street Journal. [..]
Isabel Knauf, a founding-family member who is on the supervisory board of the Iran operation, signed a letter that was circulated confidentially to its hundreds of Iranian employees on July 21.
‚We would like to remind all of our employees to remember that they are not only representing their private opinion when being politically active, but their actions could fall back negatively on our Knauf companies in Iran,‘ said the letter, which was reviewed by the Journal. ‚Therefore, from now on, if anybody from our company gets caught demonstrating against the current government, he or she will be immediately dismissed.'“
