Unconditioned
release for all political prisoners in India !
25th
January 2014 Great International Day of Solidarity and Struggle !
In
India more than 10.000 supposed Maoists are languishing in jails, to
them are to be added other thousands of prisoners involved in the
national liberation movements (Kashmir, Manipur, etc.) or other
democratic movements.
Beside
with the leaders, cadres and members of the PLGA, more than the 90%
of that number are Adivasi villagers who resisted the forced
evacuation; peasants who struggled against the MOUs signed by
governments and TNCs to exploit the people and continue the
imperialist looting of natural resources; activists of the national
minorities organized against the rising threat of Hindu communal
fascism; students, intellectuals, artists belonging the RDF and other
democratic organizations, guilty of standing on the side of the
people facing the war on them waged by the Indian state; people's
women,feminists united to rebel against the huge escalation of rapes,
committed in part by the armed and police forces and paramilaty
fascist squads sponsored by the State, as weapon of the war on
people.
In
jails the prisoners face every kind of harassment, torture, denial of
bails, inhumane living conditions, arbitrary transfers, brutal
assaults and punishments of solitary confinement, and often the
detained women are raped.
In
spite of the fierce condition of
detention, prisoners are resisting and struggling with revolutionary
spirit and turning the dark jails in which are confined into a
battlefront against the raising fascism in India and the Indian
regime.
The
struggle for their unconditioned release is an urgent task for all
the solidarity forces and friends of Indian people, and it is
integrant part of the support for the victory of their liberation
war.
But
all India is more and more turned by the ruling classes into a
“prison house of people's movements”.
Since
mid-2009, the Indian ruling classes,
under the guidance and with the assistance of imperialists, launched
the multi-pronged and country-wide offensive called Operation Green
Hunt – a war on people to wipe out the Maoist movement and suppress
the genuine struggles of the people.
While
repression
on oppressed masses is the hallmark of any exploiting state and
always has been a feature of the Indian State, the Operation Green
has surpassed all the previous offensives both in its scale and
brutality.
Thousands
of revolutionary and democratic mass organizations
leaders and members have been assassinated, tortured and put in
jails. Blamed under false cases, many of them are facing harsh
punishments.
Massacres,
gang rapes, looting and destruction of villages by armed forces have
become the order of the day.
The
Operation Green Hunt –
War on People – is supposed aimed to wipe out the Maoist movement
but it is in fact it targets and is aimed to suppress any genuine
democratic demand of the people, by framing them in cases linked with
the CPI (Maoist) according the draconian laws adopted by the central
and state governments, that brand people's leaders and strugglers as
'anti-national or terrorists'.
Stop
the Operation Green Hunt,
stop the War on People !
But
the liberation war of the masses in India cannot be stopped by the
savage repression, rather
it extends the political and moral solidarity to the liberation war.
Many
international initiatives and efforts built solidarity with people in
India and supported their struggle for liberation, including the
great International Conference of Hamburg and the International Days
of Actions organized by the International Committee of Support. These
initiatives had impact throughout the world and in India itself,
dealt blows to imperialism and the Indian regime, that today reacts
urging the governments, first those of EU, to stop the initiatives of
solidarity.
It
is for this reason that today
more than ever it is necessary to further consolidate and extend the
solidarity.
Therefore
we
call to a large International
Day of Solidarity and struggle for the unconditioned release of the
political prisoners in India on 25th
of January 2014,
to be held everywhere is possible in the world, in all the possible
ways decided by the committees and solidarity forces at national
level, with street
actions,
that call the masses to participate, and counter-information
actions and protests
towards embassies, consulates, offices of the international press and
humanitarian organizations etc.,
to be held during the week before the International
Day.
