CPI(Maoist) calls for Bandha on November3 on The Next Front

Communist Party of India (Maoist) has called for a 24-hour bandha in 5 states—Odisha, Andrapradesh, Telangana, Maharashtra and Chhatisgadh to protest against the Malankangiri fake encounter. In a press statement released by comrade Pratap the spokesperson of CPI(Maoist) Central Zonal, has instructed all institutions to remain closed on November 3.
Comrade Pratap has mentioned that this fake encounter as the biggest loss suffered by the party in 40 years of revolutionary struggle. He has accused the state governments of Odisha and Andhra Pradesh, along with the Narendra Modi-led central government of deliberately targeting the Maoists in the region to snatch the tribal land for Buxite mining.  He has accused the police of capturing the comrades in injured condition and killing them after torture. As he has mentioned:
“Our 27 cadres were killing on the morning of October 24 in Odisha. This was the first time that the party has suffered such a big loss in its 40 years of revolutionary struggle. Many senior leaders and cadres belonging to Andhra Pradesh, Odisha, Chhattisgarh, and Telangana achieved martyrdom. It was a conspiracy and the security forces resorted to their old tactic of using surrendered Maoists to target party leaders,”
Comrade Pratap has lashed out at Modi government over its policy of ‘Make in India’ calling it a ploy which would allow imperialists to loot the resources of the nation and deprive natives of their land.  He has vowed to avenge the attack from the officers involved in its planning. He expresses such conspiracies cannot weaken the party. As he has threatened:
“Our revolutionary struggle has come a long way despite many such attacks and even after losing thousands of comrades to the attacks by the state. Exploitation increases resentment among the revolutionary masses and the rulers, who forget this truth, will have to pay a heavy price for it…. But such setbacks are not new for us. We will come out of it soon and take forward our struggle… The CPI (Maoist) is supporting all the struggles against it but the state and the central governments are trying to curb these struggles using the third phase of the Operation Green Hunt. The harassment has increased in Odisha and Andhra after Rajnath Singh’s (Union Home Minster) visit to Vishakhapatnam and Koraput. The killing of common people in fake encounters has become a routine and October 24 encounter was a part of this series. Such conspiracies cannot weaken the party.”
The fake encounter was conducted on October 24, in Malkangiri, near the Andrha –Odisha border. The fake encounter operation had carried by Andhra police’s anti-Maoist cell ‘Greyhound’, along with Odisha special police force.

Germany : Book launch organized by Jugendwiderstand & Redspark

Germany Imperialist States 

On 5th of November 2016, we will have a book launch evening in Berlin-Kreuzberg, talking about the needs of a revolutionary press publishing in the 21st century. For this reason we have invited a comrade from the project „Redspark“ who will do this and introduce the first published works like „Marxism-Leninism-Maoism Basic Course“ by the Communist Party of India (Maoist), „Selected Works of the Communist Party of Peru“, „Philosophical Trends in the Feminist Movement“ by Anurandha Ghandy and „Minimanual of the Urban Guerrilla“ by Carlos Marighella.

The comrades say: „Many books that we nowadays read to improve our knowledge and ideology were printed in the People’s Republic of China. Since it fell to revisionism, there is no one who has the means to massively print, translate or compile works of communist leaders and useful documents for our practice. So we started to print the books that comrades could find useful and that were recommended to us in the past years. Now we are happy to see the results, which are really good for us: in just three months of the project, almost 300 books were sold. We started in a modest way and now we are excited to continue producing (or reprinting) some of the most necessary books, available for a cheap price and all over the world. It´s good to see that comrades in the USA will also start to print the books and that comrades in semi-colonies are also asking for the books; and the small profit which is made in Europe / US can be used to send the books for a symbolic price to them.“
So come to the book launch and gain the insight into the project and the books!

Message of Solidarity with CPI (Maoist) from Crvena inicijativa

October 31, 2016 Isak Levi

Within people’s revolutionary struggle of Naxalite-Maoists in India, there has been a continuous increase in reaction and repression from the conservative national-chauvinist government of the Prime Minister Modi against the rebellious people and their political representatives. Operation led by the Indian state against the revolutionary movement is known under the code name of “Green Hunt”, and has been going on for several years. However, after the Malkangiri encounter and the events that followed, this operation has entered a new phase in which the forces of army and police, besides regular torture, denial of basic rights and burning people alive, have started a brutal offensive with a goal to drown the movement in blood, without caring for basic human rights and rules of warfare.
We condemn the violent and criminal behavior of the rulers in their fight against the people. We call upon all conscious men and women, workers, students and unemployed to show solidarity within their possibilities, with the victims of state terror in India, because even over our heads hovers a threat of similar state terror in the future. We believe in the necessity and the strength of solidarity because we are aware of the fact that victory of the proletariat in any part of the world helps the proletarian struggles all around; same way, the defeat of proletariat in one country represents the defeat of the world proletariat.
Long live socialist struggle of people of India!
Long live proletarian solidarity!
Proletarians of all countries, unite!
Lal Salaam!
Crvena inicijativa (Red Initiative) is a communist collective active in Serbia and Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Red de Blogs Comunistas: Comunicado con motivo del aniversario de la Revolución de Octubre: !Viva la Revolución de obreros, soldados y campesinos!

El 25 de octubre de 1917 del calendario ruso, 7 de noviembre en el calendario occidental, los trabajadores soviéticos tomaban el poder y lo ponían en manos de los soviets. El Comité Militar Revolucionario del Soviet de Petrogrado, integrado por los camaradas Sverdlov, Stalin, Bubnov, Utritski y Dzerzhinski, hacía la siguiente proclamación: 

Desde aquel momento hasta la actualidad, los ladrones capitalistas, canallas terratenientes y párasitos burgueses no pueden más que temblar con la sola mención de las palabras Revolución o Comunismo y con la mera posibilidad de que los trabajadores se emancipen de su dictadura y vuelvan a tomar el control de su trabajo y de la riqueza producida para su propio beneficio y bienestar, tal y como sucedió entonces.

Hace noventa y nueve años, en los días previos a aquella fecha gloriosa, aquel Comité Militar

Revolucionario ya estaba preparando (desde el 29 de octubre de aquel año, 17 de octubre del calendario ruso) el alzamiento de obreros, campesinos y soldados contra el gobierno provisional, cuyo triunfo llevaría a construir un estado que cambiaría la historia del mundo y de la clase obrera mundial: el primer estado construido por los trabajadores, la República Soviética de Rusia (poco tiempo después, la Unión de Repúblicas Socialistas Soviéticas). 

La Red de Blogs Comunistas celebra y conmemora el aniversario de aquel acontecimiento revolucionario que cambió la historia del mundo y demostró que los proletarios de la tierra pueden convertirse efectivamente en aquello que Marx demostrara era su principal función histórica: sepultureros de la burguesía. 

Hoy, a pesar del retroceso que ha representado la restauración capitalista en la Unión Soviética y en la R.P. China, producto del triunfo de la burguesía y su ideología revisionista en la lucha de clases dentro del Socialismo, la toma del poder por los trabajadores rusos en noviembre de 1917, ilustrada en el decreto del Comité Militar Revolucionario que acompaña a esta entrada, ha de servir de ánimo para redoblar la esperanza de los oprimidos del mundo entero en que el mundo sin explotación del hombre por el hombre, el comunismo, está al alcance de nuestras manos, aunque para ello haya que superar los enormes los obstáculos e impedimentos históricos impuestos por el capitalismo, y levantarnos, recogiendo la bandera roja, tras cada aparente derrota, hasta la victoria final.

Desde la Red de Blogs Comunistas (RBC), como aquel 7 de noviembre de 1917 (25 de octubre en el calendario juliano) hiciera el Comité Militar Revolucionario del Soviet de Petrogrado, aclamamos: !Viva la Revolución de los Obreros Soldados y Campesinos!

INDIA: APDR PRESS RELEASE 29 October 2016 On killing of about thirty persons including several Women in Malkangiri - 24 november - International day of action ICSPWI

APDR strongly condemns the killing of about thirty persons including several women  described as members of the CPI (Maoist) and some villagers in a dense forest area of Malkangiri in the Andhra-Orisa border region on 23 October as reported in the press and as per information received from Human Rights Organisations. The incident of killing was described as an ‘encounter’. The number and nature of casualties as reported in the media quoting police sources clearly indicate that there was no ‘encounter’ and people were killed in captivity. According to a report they were poisoned and sedated by agents beforehand and were targeted while asleep, some of them after brutal torture. According to reports some people including CPI (Maoist) leader had been taken into custody, but they were not produced in any court or there is no news about their whereabouts.

It has become amply clear that the state and the security forces  are pursuing a policy of physically eliminating political activists and dissenting voices who are opposing various  state policies including dispossessing the indigenous people of their livelihood and clear the ground for corporate loot. To keep such illegal and anti  human rights crimes outside the purview of the citizen of the country and outside world,, persecution and hounding out journalists, rights activists and lawyers from such areas have become part of state policy in these areas for the last couple of years. .Only on 21 October, report of a CBI investigation in a 2011 incident of burning down of 160 houses in an Orissa village Tadmatela was made public. The CBI found that the carnage for which the Maoists were blamed, was actually the handiwork of security forces. The response to these findings was the ridiculous programme of burning of effigies of journalists and rights activists who dared to bring out the truth on 24 October by by the uniformed security personnel.

APDR  strongly opposes the state policy of physically eliminating political activists and dissenting voices and persecution of journalists, lawyers  and rights activists.

A Co-ordination of Democratic Rights Organisation (CDRO ) team will be visiting the place of  carnage in the first week  of November to bring out the facts

Meanwhile APDR demands:

1.The government must stop the policy of physically eliminating political activists and dissenting voices, which tantamount to genocide of people believing in a particular ideology.

2. Initiate judicial enquiry by a sitting Supreme Court or High Court Judge to bring out the real facts of the carnage
3. Identify the security personnel involved in the carnage and punish them as per law. FIRs must be lodged against those claiming an ‘encounter’ as recommended by the NHRC.
4. Immediately release all Political Prisoners.including those who are being held without records.

LA SITUACIÓN ACTUAL Y LOS ELEMENTOS 

QUE HAY QUE TENER EN CUENTA

Situación internacional

Revolución y contrarrevolución en el mundo. La situación del imperialismo, en el lecho de muerte pero todavía no muerto (Lenin), se empeora, y como bestia herida de muerte da manotazos descargando su crisis sobre nuestros países e incrementando la disputa entre ellos por el reparto y nuevo reparto, desatando sus guerras de agresión en los diferentes continentes (puntos candentes), uno de los cuales, el más candente hoy, está en el Medio Oriente Ampliado (MOA).

Se profundiza la crisis económica y la crisis en todos los órdenes, que ya padecen nuestros países por su condición de países semicoloniales o coloniales y semifeudales, donde se desenvuelve un capitalismo burocrático al servicio del imperialismo.

La reacción acicatea la revolución: la ofensiva contrarrevolucionaria general contra el marxismo, el Partido, el socialismo y la dictadura del proletariado dirigida por el imperialismo yanqui como potencia hegemónica única, en colusión y pugna con la otra superpotencia atómica, Rusia (el perro flaco), y las demás potencias imperialistas, entró en declive a finales de los 90. Esta la enfrentamos con la contraofensiva revolucionaria marxista-leninista-maoísta pensamiento gonzalo dirigida por el PCP y la guerra popular.

Desde comienzos del presente siglo la ofensiva contrarrevolucionaria general pasó a desenvolverse como “guerra contra el terrorismo” o “contra la barbarie del islamismo”, algunas veces presentada de forma descarada como “guerra entre barbarie y civilización” o contra el “sectarismo y el dogmatismo religioso”.

Esta ofensiva contrarrevolucionaria busca legitimar la guerra de agresión imperialista contra las naciones oprimidas, presentar la guerra de agresión imperialista por partición y nuevo reparto de los países del Tercer Mundo, especialmente del MOA. Es decir, busca crear opinión pública favorable a la guerra de rapiña imperialista y el genocidio como “guerra justa” (Hugo Groccio). Pretende dividir el movimiento antimperialista en sus propios países y en el Tercer Mundo. Cínicamente presentan a las fuerzas nativas a su servicio en los países oprimidos ocupados como “libertadores”, “nacionalistas” y “revolucionarios”. Con ello tratan de impulsar la acción del oportunismo y el revisionismo a su servicio.

Como estableció el Presidente Mao, los pueblos luchan por la revolución, las naciones por su emancipación y los países por la independencia. Que se expresa en la lucha de liberación nacional en los países del Tercer Mundo.

India - for debate - Analysen der Reaktion zum Massaker in Indien - Den volken dienen

Verschiedene Zeitungen der bürgerlichen indischen Presse analysieren mittlerweile das Massaker, das am 24. Oktober von den Bullen des alten indischen Staats begangen wurde. Darunter absurde Theorien, wie diejenige, dass die indischen Genossen naiv mit Smartphones unterwegs gewesen sein sollen und entdeckt wurden, weil sie diese zu geheimen Treffen nur ausgeschaltet, aber nicht den Akku entnommen haben sollen. Nun ist dieser Punkt zwar ein wichtiger, der in vielen Ländern von Revolutionären oder Personen, die sich als solche bezeichnen, missachtet wird und der auch durchaus korrekt beschrieben ist: es ist nicht ausreichend, ein Telefon auszuschalten um dessen Ortungsfunktionen zu deaktivieren. (Weitergehend ist es natürlich aber auch nicht ausreichend, den Akku zu entfernen). Dass aber die Volksbefreiungsguerillaarmee (Peoples Liberation Guerrilla Army - PLGA) der indischen Genossen sich darüber nicht im Klaren ist, ist zu bezweifeln. Zusammen mit der Behauptung, die Genossen würden exzessiv Selfies schießen, ist die Stoßrichtung dieses Artikels klar, der wohl suggerieren soll, dass die Genossen von Tuten und Blasen keine Ahnung hätten. Andere Artikel erklären, dass die Genossen sich angeblich in ihrem Gebiet zu sicher gefühlt und keine Wache aufgestellt hätten, oder diese unfähig war.
Eine Meldung veröffentlicht die angebliche Stellungnahme eines Mitglieds der Kommunistischen Partei Indiens (maoistisch), der 27 der 30 getöteten Genossen identifiziert. Er erklärt dazu, dass 11 der Genossen bei dem Massaker verwundet und danach gefoltert und exekutiert wurden.
Obwohl die Bullen behaupten, dass Ramakrishna nicht in ihrer Gewalt ist, stellt die Presse durch von den Bullen veröffentlichte Informationen fest, das er vor Ort oder in der Nähe gewesen sein muss.

Währenddessen kämpfen die Genossen weiter gegen den alten indischen Staat, so am 27. Oktober, als in zwei Orten in Kalahandi, Odisha jeweils sechs und drei Personen festgenommen, davon jeweils eine als Polizeiinformant hingerichtet und die übrigen wieder freigelassen wurden.
In Malappuram in Kerala wurden mehrere Personen, darunter ein Förster, verwarnt sich nicht weiter als Polizeiinformanten zu betätigen oder Lügen über die PLGA zu verbreiten.

Des Weiteren ist ein Video aus Indien veröffentlicht worden, das eine Demonstration gegen das Massaker zeigt, zum 3. November wird von der KPI(maoistisch) in den fünf Bundesstaaten Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, Odisha, Chhattisgarh und Maharashtra aufgerufen.

INDIA:Ground Report about Prabhakar died died in Malkanpagi massacre - 24 november International Day of action ICSPWI

Failed by the idea of Telangana: Life of the Dalit artist who a violent Maoist

Prabhakar was among the 28 alleged Maoists who were killed in the recent ‘encounter’ at Andhra-Odisha border.

Nitin B.| Friday, October 28, 2016 - 18:53

A poster of Prabhakar that reads "People's Leader - Comrade Prabhakar Amar Rahe"

There is a lull in Kinda Basti at the Yarpal suburb in Hyderabad, the sort that comes after a storm.
Walking through a maze of ever-shrinking lanes, it isn’t easy to find the house. Locals point to one where a few elders are sitting outside, chopping vegetables and preparing lunch.
This is the house where Communist Party of India (Maoist) activist Prabhakar was born and raised. He was one among the 28 killed in an encounter with Indian security forces in the Bejjangi forest in Odisha's Malkangiri district on Monday.
A day ago, the entire Basti was packed with local TV crews vying for a sound-bite from anyone who claimed to know Prabhakar, and trying to get footage of a mourning family with Prabhakar’s body. Well-known Maoist sympathisers like Varavara Rao, Gaddar and Vimalakka were also present.
The residents of the house are hostile to strangers and demand credentials before uttering a word about Prabhakar. The anger is evident on their faces.



"We don't want to say anything to our enemy," they say, hinting that anyone visiting them could be from the police. It takes a call from a trusted activist and lawyer to get them to open up.
"He is not dead for me. He is still alive. He will give nightmares to (Chandrababu) Naidu. His followers will not let this go in vain," says Suvarna, Prabhakar's elder sister, as she chokes up.
Prabhakar was born into a poor family of Dalits in this very house which they have been occupying since 1975. His father Anjayya was a mason, and his mother Rathnamma was an agricultural labourer.


(Rathnamma)
"He was a very bright student as a child. Even though we were very poor, he was the only kid in the entire colony who studied in an English medium school (till Class 6). When he came home one day and recited 'Twinkle Twinkle', my entire house was proud of him," Suvarna recalls.
Prabhakar went on to top his class and complete his schooling in a government school at Lal Bazar, and then secured a diploma in engineering, his family say.
Suvarna recollects many emotional moments that she shared with Prabhakar as a child, as she fights back tears. "He was good at math and was very creative. He even won prizes for being the best singer in his school. He participated in weekly debates from a very young age," she says.


(From left: Prabhakar's younger sister, older sister, aunt and mother)

"I knew him since when he was a child. He used to come home and was one of the most intelligent and brightest people I knew," says Raja Narasimha, his neighbour. Narasimha is also one of the founders of Praja Kala Mandali (PKM), of which Prabhakar was one of the first and longest serving members.
"When we founded it in 1997, we wanted to fight the imperialist and feudal rule with art. Prabhakar was one of the most enthusiastic members, and would pour through books with poetry and folk tales. Soon he started writing his own poems and dramas," Narasimha narrates.
For the next few years, Narasimha says Prabhakar travelled through the country spreading anti-establishment songs, poetry and dramas, and also organized large cultural workshops in Ongole (Andhra) in 1997 and Delhi in 2000. "He was a gifted

musician. He had a great sense of rhythm and would teach people how to play a number of percussion instruments," Narasimha adds.


(Raja Narasimha)
By 2002, Prabhakar was the district secretary of the PKM and was later appointed the state secretary for (unified) Andhra Pradesh in 2007. He had actively contributed to the Mandali by compiling books, performing in theatres, making films and documentaries, and releasing audio cassettes. He even started converting these compilations to Mp3 format when technology became available.
By this time, he was well read in political philosophy and could even debate American politics and foreign affairs, says Narasimha, “The fight for justice for the downtrodden was always in him.”
His associates say that Prabhakar was staunchly against casteism and fought for women empowerment all his life. In 2006, he married Devendra, who was also into political activism as a member for the Telangana Praja Front (TPF). The couple had a small ceremony at Ambedkar Bhavan in Hyderabad, in which Vara vara Rao was the chief guest.
It was an inter-caste marriage, and that was not the only social stricture they broke. "They married not for love, but for companionship. After their wedding, they made a conscious choice not to have children, as it would hinder their goal of uplifting the poor," says E Jaya, Narasimha's wife, who is also a senior leader of the TPF.
 

(Jaya and Raja Narasimha)
Jaya says she knew Devendra from her college days in the late 90s and was the one who introduced Devendra to Prabhakar. Prabhakar was very active in the Telangana movement, demanding a separate state, she says.
"They were always at the forefront of the protests. Unlike leaders who would watch from afar, they would be the first ones to take beatings during a lathi charge," Jaya adds.
A new state is born, so is a new Maoist
However, it was after Telangana was granted that Prabhakar decided to go underground and join the CPI (Maoist), his associates say. In 2014, he was disillusioned by the new state government, and told his close associates that he saw no change, especially to the adivasis, after bifurcation.
His relatives say that he was troubled by the way the forest land was being stolen by multi-national corporations and the government's apathy towards them.
“The first person he told was Devendra. He told her that he was going to change the society, and asked her to continue working at the forefront of the struggle against injustice," Jaya says, "He could've just run away, but instead he sat his entire family down and chose to explain the rationale behind his decision to them."
At the time, Prabhakar told his mother that if he did not return, she was not supposed to shed a single tear as her son would be a martyr --- a sentiment she still holds.
"He said that the ideology was bigger than one person and that she must be happy even when he's gone," Jaya adds.
According to reports, soon after he joined the Maoist party, Prabhakar became close to Andhra Orissa Border (AOB) special zonal committee secretary Rama Krishna alias RK, who is also one of the most wanted men in the two Telugu states.
While RK is said to have escaped from the encounter spot, Varavara Rao on Thursday proclaimed at Prabhakar's residence that he was in police custody as he did not contact his party men since the encounter.
A day after the encounter, the death toll of the Maoists went up to 28 after four more bodies were recovered. Fresh firing on Thursday during a combing operation, has now taken the death toll to 30.
Back home, the memory of Prabhakar's body is still fresh in the minds of his family members.


(Prabhakar's brother, Sudhakar)
"His jaw was broken and dislocated like a boot had stepped on it. Half his face wasn't even recognizable. He had bullet holes in his stomach and other places. The last thing a mother wants is to hug and kiss her child goodbye, but she couldn't even touch her own son," Jaya says.
While everyone in the family praises him for being kind, compassionate and caring towards the downtrodden, they also do not deny or seek to justify that he was ready to indulge in violence for his goals. Prabhakar was an outlaw for the government, but for the family he is a martyr, a hero.
"The only reason why he did what he did, was to ensure that no one had to struggle like he had to struggle," says his sister Suvarna.

EEUU: 120 detenidos en protesta contra oleoducto en Dakota

27 de octubre 2016

La policía de Dakota del Norte, en Estados Unidos (EEUU) arrestó el miércoles a 120 manifestantes que protestaban contra la construcción del oleoducto Dakota Access, el cual cruza antiguos cementerios tribales y es un elemento contaminante del agua potable de la comunidad.

 

Entre los detenidos hubo varios periodistas y directores de cine acusados de generar “disturbios”.

 

Los reporteros fueron liberados recientemente y aseguraron que la policía dirigió un ataque agresivo con gases pimienta contra los manifestantes desarmados, incluso golpearon a varios con sus garrotes.

 

“Cubrí conflictos en el extranjero y nunca imaginé que iba a ver este tipo de demostración de fuerza contra gente pacífica”, dijo el periodista independiente, Jihan Hafiz, quien agregó que “estos son el tipo de cosas que se ven en Medio Oriente”.

 

El pasado fin de semana hubo un total de 127 personas detenidas, entre ellos menores de edad y ahora estas personas enfrentan cargos por “imprudencia temeraria”, “traspaso criminal”, “participación en motín”, “resistencia a la autoridad” y “asalto a la paz oficial”, informó el alguacil del condado de Morton, en el estado de Kansas cerca de Dakota del Norte.

 

Datos aportados por agentes de la policía de Dakota del Norte informaron que ocurrieron un total de 269 detenciones desde el inicio de la protesta en agosto pasado.

 

Las detenciones masivas ocurrieron luego de que un juez rechazó los cargos antidisturbios con la periodista Amy Goodman, del programa Democracy Now! (¡Democracia ahora!) cuyo arresto produjo una ola de protestas en favor de la libertad de expresión. Igualmente, hubo un rechazo hacia la detención forzosa de la actriz de la película Divergente, Shailene Woodley.

¡50 Años! El Partido Pantera Negra Por Mumia Abu-Jamal

 

Cuando dos jóvenes universitarios se reunieron en una oficina del programa anti-pobreza en Oakland, California a mediados de octubre, 1966, nadie —ni siquiera ellos mismos— sabía lo que iban a lograr.

 

Los hombres, Huey P. Newton, de 24 años, y Bobby G. Seale, de 29 años, salieron de la oficina con algo llamado el Programa de 10 Puntos, que a través de la organización que ellos fundaron —el Partido Pantera Negra (BPP)— afectaría a la nación y entraría en las crónicas de la historia.

 

El Partido tuvo impactos globales y dejó una gran huella en toda una generación de la juventud negra así como en la resistencia de clase.

 

Pero como sabemos, esto sucedió 50 años atrás, hace toda una vida. ¿Quién hubiera sabido que cualquiera de nosotros aún viviría hoy?

 

Sin embargo, cinco décadas después, algunos de nosotros quedamos en las celdas del sistema carcelario. Somos presos políticos en todo menos el nombre, es decir, sin el reconocimiento del gobierno.

 

No olvidemos a nuestros hermanos, hermanas y compañeros guerreros en cadenas:

• Sundiata Acoli, camarada de la presa política liberada, Assata Shakur, y del guerrero caído Zayd Malik Shakur; capturado el 2 de mayo de 1973, Sundiata es un escritor prolífico.
• Delbert Orr Africa, integrante de la agrupación de Panteras en Chicago quien después se unió a la Organización MOVE; forma parte del grupo de hombres y mujeres conocidos como «los 9 de MOVE», encarcelados después de un enfrentamiento con la policía de Filadelfia el 8 de agosto de 1978.
• Russell «Maroon» Shoatz, integrante del Consejo de Unidad Negra, afiliado con el Partido Pantera Negra en Filadelfia; un brillante escritor, historiador y pensador.
• Imam Jamil Abdullah Al-Amin (antes conocido como «Rap» Brown), Ministro de Justicia del Partido Pantera Negra, y después activista anti-droga en Atlanta, líder comunitario e Imam de la mezquita local.
• Joseph «Jo-Jo» Bowen, de la rama de los Panteras en Filadelfia.
• Robert Seth Hayes, del BPP en Nueva York, ahora enfrenta graves condiciones de la salud, incluyendo diabetes y hepatitis C.
• Fred «Muhammad» Burton, del BPP en Filadelfia, ahora encarcelado en la prisión de SCI Somerset, PA.
• Dr. Mutulu Shakur, acupunturista de formación, fue encontrado culpable de ayudarle a Assata Shakur liberarse; el cariñoso padrastro del legendario rapero, Tupac Shakur.
• Jalil Muntaqim, del BPP en Nueva York, era cofundador, junto con la fallecida líder revolucionaria, Safiya Bukhari, del Movimiento Jericó en 1998, para informar a la gente sobre los presos políticos y apoyar su liberación.

 

Éstas son algunas de las personas que han pasado décadas en prisión por sus revolucionarias actividades políticas durante los años 60, 70 y 80. La mayoría han sido integrantes del Partido Pantera Negra y/o el Ejército de Liberación Negra (BLA) —luchadores por la libertad de la Nación Negra.

 

No los olvidemos. Organicemos para ganar su libertad y la de todos nosotros y nosotras.  Para más información consulten al Movimiento Jericó en: jerichomovement.com.

 

Han pasado 50 años increíbles desde que Huey y Bobby teclearon el Programa de 10 Puntos y la Plataforma del Partido Pantera Negra para la Autodefensa.

 

¿Cuántas veces durante estos 50 años han leído el Programa de 10 Puntos ustedes? ¿Y cuántas veces se han quedado asombrados sobre el hecho de que las condiciones siguen siendo gravísimas para millones de personas negras?

 

Medio siglo después y las vidas de la gente negra aún no importan.

 

¡Unámonos con nuestros hermanos y hermanas jóvenes y ayudemos a construir un movimiento de libertad digno de nuestros guerreros y guerreras caídos —y digno también de nuestros antepasados!

Desde la nación encarcelada soy Mumia Abu-Jamal.

India -Llamada para la Solidaridad Internacional contra la Campaña Militar contra los Maoístas en la India - 24 novembre - jornada internacional de action - ICSPWI

Llamada para la Solidaridad Internacional contra la Campaña Militar contra los Maoístas en la India

Redspark recibió este mensaje de una camarada de una organización democrática en la India:

 

“Hoy el estado indio mató a 3 compañeros más a sangre fría tomando la cifra a 27 en dos días. El estado indio ha entrado en una ofensiva total contra los maoístas que están defendiendo los derechos del pueblo del nexo entre el gobierno y el corporativo destinado a saquear la tierra de sus recursos naturales.

 

Por un lado, un sector de la clase dominante ha pedido conversaciones de paz con los maoístas, pero el estado indio ha continuado sus matanzas espantosas, sin cesar. Urgimos a la comunidad internacional a expresar solidaridad con las camaradas y condenar la campaña militar del estado indio.”

 

Redspark expresa solidaridad con los compañeros dirigiendo la revolución en la India. Pediríamos a todos los individuos y organizaciones progresistas a organizar y hacer campaña contra la guerra sobre la gente en el corazón de la India. También exigimos que el estado indio cesa su campaña espantosa de inmediato contra los sectores oprimidos de la sociedad y libera a todos los presos políticos en las cárceles en toda la India bajo los cargos falsos.

 

¡Viva la Resistencia del Pueblo!

 

¡Abajo el estado fascista de la India!

 

¡Lal Salaam!

Turkey - fascist attack against Group Yorum - solidarity from MAOISTROAD

Turquía: Puedes romper instrumentos, pero no puedes romper la fe. ¡Venceremos!

Aquí es una declaración de Centro Cultural Idil de Estambul (Okmeydani) tras su redada, y una llamada para una campaña internacional para Grup Yorum.

 

Durante la invasión de la policía del centro cultural Idil, los instrumentos de Grup Yorum fueron destrozados. La policía fascista ha atacado al Grup Yorum, porque no quiere que la voz de la gente con el espíritu de libertad llega a la gente. Ha roto los instrumentos, mandando un mensaje de odio.

 

El régimen fascista de Erdogan cree que las detenciones, el terror y la brutalidad de la policía detendrán la pasión por la libertad. Esto es falso. La voluntad, los ideales y la solidaridad son nuestras armas invencibles contra el fascismo. Nadie puede detener nuestra fuerza, nadie puede silenciar nuestra voz. Aun si nos encarcelan y rompen nuestros instrumentos seguiremos luchando. Seguiremos cantando nuestras canciones de revolución porque estamos al lado correcto.

 

Las canciones de Grup Yorum, son canciones para los revolucionarios de todo el mundo. Grup Yorum debe seguir cantando, y debemos tomar parte en sus esfuerzos para reparar el daño. La restauración de instrumentos del Grup Yorum es nuestra causa y deber también.

 

En este momento difícil, no sólo somos una audiencia para su música, sino compañeros y aliados. Así que hay que apoyarlos, debemos mostrar nuestra solidaridad y enviar un mensaje de aliento internacional. Grup Yorum están cantando para nosotros y tenemos que retribuirle por eso.

 

Llamamos a todos los compañeros para apoyar esta campaña internacional para Grup Yorum, por enviar el dinero para la sustitución de instrumentos rotos o dañados. Envía este mensaje de solidaridad para que las canciones revolucionarias se oyen más alto.

 

Puedes romper instrumentos, pero no puedes romper la fe. ¡Venceremos!

Red spark to ICSPWI - Let's make of this day of 24 november a great day of solidarity to show our support to the comrades in India

Great ! Thank you very much for your quick response.

Let's make of this day of 24 november a great day of solidarity to show our support to the comrades. We already had answers from a lot of comrades who are not organized in ICSPWI to also join the actions so it's very positive.

We wish we could also meet soon to discuss how we, as Redspark, could support PW in India and promote ICSPWI.

Red Salute,

succès de la semaine d'actions internationale pour exiger la libération de notre camarade Georges Abdallah,

Bonjour camarade,

tous ceux qui ont participé activement à la semaine d'actions internationale ainsi qu'à la manifestation à Lannemezan ne peuvent que se féliciter du succès de ces deux initiatives. 

L'ampleur qu'a prise la proposition lancée par la campagne unitaire de mobiliser cette année durant toute une semaine, sur le plan national et international une opinion publique et un milieu militant de plus en plus investis pour exiger la libération de notre camarade Georges Abdallah, montre clairement la justesse de la ligne des propositions faites par la campagne unitaire et la récupération, l'appropriation de plus en plus large de son objectif : celui de coordonner toutes les forces constructives et d'intensifier les luttes pour arracher Georges Abdallah des geôles de l'impérialisme français. 

La déclaration unitaire qui a été lue devant la prison de Lannemezan et qui est reprise par de plus en plus de signataires, réaffirme la logique du cheminement qui a été le nôtre et qui sera poursuivi lors des nouvelles activités et actions de la campagne unitaire : allier le plan local au plan national et international en vu d'une mobilisation toujours plus large et forte.

"C'est ensemble camarade et seulement ensemble que nous vaincrons" : c'est ce principe rappelé par notre camarade Georges Abdallah que nous avons de cesse de mettre en pratique à travers l'ensemble des actions appelées par la campagne unitaire car effectivement, selon nous, c'est par l'union des forces dans la lutte que passe aussi la libération de notre camarade.

Ce n'est qu'un début, camarade ! Continuons le combat !

• October 30, 2016

There are currently seven Palestinian prisoners in Israeli jails on an open hunger strike against administrative detention and the mistreatment and repression of women prisoners and six prisoners. These seven prisoners include:
Anas Shadid, 19, of the village of Dura near al-Khalil, has been on hunger strike since 25 September against his imprisonment without charge or trial under administrative detention. Shadid has been imprisoned since 1 August and is on an open hunger strike, which he began jointly with Ahmad Abu Fara, demanding his immediate release and an end to administrative detention. On his 36th day of hunger strike, his health has deteriorated significantly; he suffers from severe abdominal and joint pain, shortness of breath and must use a wheelchair in order to move and walk. He is currently held in the Ramle prison clinic.

India - Analysis of Kashmir Situation: CDRO

October 30, 2016

Co-ordination of Democratic Rights Organisations (CDRO)

Stand in Solidarity with the People’s Struggle in Kashmir!

Since 8^th July 2016 when Burhan Muzzafar Wani was killed there have been widespread protests against his killing in Kashmir Valley. Since then the Government of India has launched a crackdown and the cycle of curfew and bandh has persisted for more than ninety days now and brute force has been used to smother the agitation. The number of casualties has risen to 90 killings of civilians, 7000 injured by pellets, more than 1000 blindings, number of those injured is close to 17,000 civilians and 10,000 security force personnel, arrest of 6000 persons either detained under draconian Public Security Act (PSA) or arrested under various charges. The dreaded night raids have been going on and Indian Army has launched “Operation Calm Down”.  
Kashmir is the only place where Pellet Guns have been used. Nowhere else in the world or in India are they used. The very fact that even in Haryana where in February 2016 for five days hooligans indulged in physical attacks, loot, rape, molestation and arson and the BJP led state government did nothing , pellet guns were not used. Because, no civilized country either uses these, or supports their use. Yet, in Indian held Kashmir pellet guns have been justified just as Armed Forces Special Powers Act (AFSPA) too is, by enemies of Democracy. 
Is not Pakistan involved in a proxy war against India over Kashmir?
The Co-ordination of Democratic Rights Organisations (CDRO) blames Government of India for enabling  Pakistan to interfere. Since October 27^th, 1947 India and Pakistan have divided Jammu and Kashmir (J & K) and India has been in complete control of the territory where people have been agitating for a political resolution to their longstanding demand for bringing the dispute over J&K to a closure. 
It is true that Pakistan is involved and has carried out attacks with the help of Lashkar i Tayabba and Jaish i Mohammed  in India. However, the area under Indian control has been in turmoil for very long, and people have fought for their demand for right of self-determination by using all the peaceful means available to them including participating in elections. In all these 68 years, Indian Governments have not succeeded in ending the struggle of Kashmiris despite use of brutal force. 
Recall that since past 27 years the struggle, J&K is a declared as a “Distrubed Area” and AFSPA is in force. The forces brutally put down the struggle and we are told by Government that everything is alright now, but there is no “normalcy” because every few years the struggle commences and then once again brutal suppression follows. This cycle has been on for 27 years.  Meanwhile nothing has been done to restore the autonomy of J&K promised, and constitutionally guaranteed. With no forward movement in reaching a political solution the demand for Azaadi from India gains legitimacy.

India - fascist Modi's regime and his patronage extended by the government and its systematic fostering of a Police Raj in Bastar.

Bastar: From Burning Villages to Burning Effigies – PUDR

October 30, 2016

PEOPLE”S UNION FOR DEMOCRATIC RIGHTS (PUDR)
Press Statement
26th October, 2016
From Burning Villages to Burning Effigies
PUDR strongly condemns the burning of the effigies of activists and a journalist by the Chhatissgarh Auxiliary police force across Bastar in a widely publicised ‘offical protest on 24th October. This show of strength by state forces against civilians was the latest and most brazen example of the patronage extended by the government  and its systematic fostering of  a Police Raj in Bastar.  All the public figures whose effigies were burnt- Manish Kunjam, Nandini Sundar, Himanhsu Kumar, Soni Sori, Bela Bhatia and Malini Subramaniam-  are members of civil society who have faced violence and intimidation earlier as well for exposing and resisting the ongoing war against the adivasis in Bastar.
The vicious ‘protest’ comes  in the immediate wake of the  Status report of the Supreme Court monitored CBI  investigation into Tarmetla massacre by the Government Forces in 2011. Tellingly, two of the effigies burnt were of the Petitioners – Sundar and Kunjam in the case. At the time of the massacre, DIG Kalluri blamed the Maoists. However, the CBI has held  seven SPOs responsible for the Tadmetla arson and  26 Salwa Judum members for physically assaulting Swami Agnivesh and his team who went to conduct a fact-finding into Tadmetla. As is well recognised both the Judum and the SPOs worked in collusion with the government.  The Chattisgarh Police has summarily dismissed the CBI findings, offering a lameduck defense about the burning
down of the village being accidentally caused by heat generated by crossfire during an operation against the Maoists!  Despite the CBI having found prima facie evidence of their complicty in the massacre, arson and loot, rape and physical assaults, in an act of brutal assault on our own people, the Police are now claiming themselves to be  nationalists who are being maligned, while all others resisting them are ‘anti nationals’. What  stares  us in the face in these recent shows of police strength, is not just the impunity
allowed to the forces, but how RSS-BJP Governments at Centre and the State have unleashed an all out war against Bastar citizenry, part of which is to squelch public spirited initiatives by groups and persons, who are the voice of those people  on the ground whose voices do not reach us.


In the operations in the forest villages of Bastar its not only the Maoists the security forces fight. They wage war on civilians, terrorising them as is well known, through fake surrenders, fake encounters, atrocities committed on Adivasi women, children and men. More than three thousand Adivasis, falsely accused under “naxal offence” languish in overcrowded and dingy jails. Detentions and arrests are means to ruin Adivasis though court battles and incarceration. In the process stifling Adivasi resistance to land and forest take over by public and private corporate interests, even as the Sixth Schedule of the Constitution remains in abeyance. On the other side, its a struggle to get FIRs registered, eg in the Nendra rape case, for investigations to be completed, for truthful and fair investigation to take place, and through it all there has been a relentless attack on social and political activists, lawyers, journalists and others.
So the effigy burning is not just the government and the forces’ contempt for the Constitutional Order-   it was under threat for a long time –  but also draws attention yet again to the dirty nature of the all out war the Indian State is waging against some of the most oppressed sections of its own people. Here we are witnessing a defense of the Police’s ‘right’ to commit all crimes and atrocities, versus those who bring out the abuse and violence against civilians showing the war against the Maoists  in its true
colours, and  who affirm the Adivasis’  right to their resources, the forests, waters and land, and protest and resist their takeover. The riotous mob gathered at various places in Bastar, comprising police personnel and vigilantes nurtured by the Police themselves, showed their ‘nationalism’ to be one  that not only allows  massacre, rape, plunder, arson, terrorisation of fellow Indians, but also denies their rights to legal remedies and justice. Whereas loyalty towards people’s rights and  causes is made a mark of the allegedly ‘anti-national’ character of the dissidence and the resistance. We urge all democratic forces to reject this idea of nationalism and speak up now against War against our Own People.
PUDR demands:
1.      Action against all those participating in these protests.
2.      Removal of DIG Kalluri.
3.      A speedy conclusion of the pending inquiry into rapes and murders at Tarmetla

India - Remembering Prabhakar, martyr of Malkangiri massacre

October 30, 2016

Prabhakar, popular singer, performer and writer of Praja Kala Mandali (PKM), was one of the martyrs of the Malkangiri massacre. Coming from a poor Dalit family from Yapral on the outskirts of Hyderabad, he had wonderful talents of singing, playing dappu, dholak and other musical instruments and performance. He was one of the main singers of PKM between the late 1990s and 2012. He was also a lead actor in plays, skits and dance performances of PKM, including Gujarat Gayam, Dunkel Bhagotham, Deepaala Nrutyam. He slowly emerged as a song writer also.

Brasil - Companheiro Marcos: Presente na Luta!

Nota do blog: Reproduzimos publicação da Liga Operária, retirada de seu site, sobre o falecimento do companheiro Marcos, o “Pirata”, em julho de 2016.

Companheiro Marcos, “Pirata”, celebrando com camponeses.

---

As reviravoltas e necessidades da vida o levaram a participar junto com cerca de 200 famílias proletárias, em 1996, da tomada de um terreno abandonado da prefeitura de Belo Horizonte, na região do barreiro – a vitoriosa ocupação denominada Vila Corumbiara, em homenagem a heroica batalha camponesa de Santa Elina, ocorrida em Rondônia, no município de Corumbiara, no ano anterior.

Vila Corumbiara, 1996.

Foi o despertar de sua consciência de classe. Seu integral empenho no cumprimento das tarefas de defesa da ocupação, sua integração nas demais atividades do acampamento, sua dedicação a luta popular, seu espírito proletário e grande coragem, o levou a maior integração nas lutas operárias do Marreta e da Liga Operária. Surgia um ativista de valor que a partir daí dedicou seu maiores esforços ao zeloso cumprimento de todas as tarefas em que era demandado.
Proletário consciente demonstrou a compreensão da fundamental aliança operário-camponesa e se dedicou a cumprir inúmeras tarefas de apoio a luta camponesa, participando de apoio a tomadas de terras, preparação de reuniões, congressos etc.
Na madrugada do dia 22/07/2016 sofremos a perda desse grande Companheiro MARCOS ANTÔNIO CARDOSO COSTA, popularmente conhecido como Pirata, vítima de um infarto.  Esse fiel ativista das causas populares, leal , simples e dedicado, sem egoísmo, muito dedicado as tarefas, a família e aos companheiros, cumpriu com vigor as inúmeras tarefas da luta operária e seu nome continuará inscrito em nossas atividades, avermelhando ainda mais nossas bandeiras e presente em nossos corações e nossas lutas.

Companheiro Marcos:  Presente na luta!
