Knauf Gips in Iran: partner in silencing the Iranian people

German companies in Iran are important supporters of the brutal regime. They are actively involved in the suppression of the Iranian people. Only few articles appeared on the case of the German company Knauf Gips KG. In a letter to their staff members, the German management threatened staff members would lose their jobs if they participated at the demonstrations in the summer of 2009. The management justified their decision by stating they were forced to take this step by the Iranian government. 

Compare an article in the German weekly Stern (July 2009), and the English letter of Isabel Knauf to all employees of Knauf in Iran.
