Bari una manifestazione con buona
partecipazione 2.000 certi con buona combattività e condivisione e molti
giovani; sin dal concentramento pulmino nostro addobbato di cui abbiamo
imposto il passaggio e presenza alle forze di polizia: striscione e
locandine con intensi slogan e speakeraggi con buon seguito, poi la
manifestazione è partita e i mass media sono concentrati essenzialmente
sulla testa.
Alla testa una dialettica con momenti di
discussione ha sostanzialmente tenuto fermo il corteo a lungo (due
posizioni): una ha insistito perché ci concedessero un pezzo ulteriore
di corteo oltre il percorso imposto da Governo e questura – cosa giusta
ma giocata troppo presto su una linea trattativista – l’altra che
subito ha sollevato il tema del fermo avvenuto in stazione di 3 compagni
a cui se ne sono aggiunti altri 5; la richiesta di liberazione dei
compagni era giusta e necessaria ma non doveva diventare subito il
centro dello scontro rispetto all’obiettivo reale che avremmo dovuto
avere – arrivare al più presto al limite del divieto ingiusto e illegale
e forzare costi quello che costi il divieto guastando la festa alla
Meloni, spostando l’attenzione di tutti sulla manifestazione
dell’opposizione antagonista alla Meloni.
Noi volevamo questo.
Durante il corteo sono continuati i nostri interventi nella zona dove eravamo presenti, sostenuti da parte dei manifestanti.
Gli interventi dal camion, spesso
identitari e autocentrati rispetto alla centralità dello scontro
politico necessario, in questa giornata dove si autocelebrava il
governo: altri compagni hanno assunti toni elettoralisti anti campo
largo e con critiche alla Meloni perché falso sovranista – mai
pronunciata la parola imperialismo; buona la denuncia di tutti su
Palestina, guerra e repressione e i richiami alle questioni sociali
proletarie e popolari vedi carovita spese sociali, licenziamenti in
arrivo all’indotto ex Ilva Taranto – assenti invece nella manifestazione
i migranti e la questione migranti negli interventi.
Quando si è arrivati al limite blindato
del corteo, naturalmente lontano dal porto dove c’era la Meloni, noi ci
siamo spostati avanti con striscione e bandiere, in prima linea davanti
agli scudi polizieschi: vi è stata una lunga defatigante trattativa per
ottenere la messa in libertà dei compagni fermati – alcune aree sono
andate via – siamo stati fino alla fine del fronteggiamento e poi il
corteo è ripartito in direzione stazione, perché presso la Polfer vi
erano ancora compagni in attesa di messa in libertà reale: i compagni
sono stati poi rilasciati.
La manifestazione è riuscita nei numeri e
nella rappresentatività possibile, meno nell’obiettivo politico che si
doveva cercare di raggiungere: abbiamo fatto la nostra parte fino in
fondo, ma sulla manifestazione e le sue lezioni dovremo ritornare nei
prossimi giorni.

This article has been written in a period of escalating intensification of state repression in India, in particular the repression of ground-level activists focusing on the land rights and human rights of marginalised Indigenous (Adivasi and other tribal communities) and caste-oppressed peoples, and religious minorities. After claiming success in ‘annihilation’ of the longstanding people’s struggle and insurgency in the Adivasi (Indigenous Peoples) areas in March 2026, the government of India has expanded its call to end ‘Naxalism’ (Maoism) in central India, to include anti-capitalist, anti-imperialist, anti-displacement and labour activists across the country as so-called ‘Urban Naxals’ or, more recently, ‘Dimagi Naxals’ [‘intellectual Naxals’]. Indian intelligence agencies and security forces are bearing down with full impunity on workers, lawyers, public intellectuals, journalists and students activists. The situation is akin to a ‘mopping up’ operation to destroy all forms of resistance and protest against the anti-people, pro-capitalist and Brahminical fascist majoritarian policies of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) regime.
This article spotlights what is known as the ‘Lucknow Conspiracy Case’ (LCC) that emerged from an FIR or First Information Report (RC 01/2023/NIA-LKW) filed on 19 June 2023, by the under-secretary of the Ministry of Home Affairs in Lucknow to urge the National Investigation Agency (NIA) to investigate ‘alleged reports of concerted attempts by leaders, sympathisers, and over-ground workers of the banned CPI (Maoist) Party working for the revival of the Northern regional bureau of the proscribed party’. In a period of approximately three years, the NIA has raided residences of over thirty activists, and called many for interrogation[1] as well as raided the offices of organisations such as Bhagat Singh Chhatra Ekta Manch and Delhi General Mazdoor Front (DGMF), and arrested three activists.
' Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi said on Saturday that India’s decades-long Maoist insurgency
was nearing its end but warned that the country now faced a new battle
against what he called “dimagi Naxals,” or people who align with the
movement’s ideology.'
We are all Dimagi Naxals!
Sep 01, 2026
By PUCL Bulletin Editorial Board
On 15th August, 2026, on the 80th anniversary of India’s
independence, Prime Minister Modi, identified a new threat, the
so-called ‘Dimagi Naxal’. In the Prime Minister’s words, while the armed
Naxals had been defeated, the ideology continues to live. Those who
embodied it needed to be identified and isolated, he announced.
While this labelling of an opposition is something we are used to,
from the Prime Minister, considering his previous coinages of ‘Tukde
Tukde Gang’, ‘Khan Market Gang’, ‘Andolan Jeevi’ and ‘Urban Naxal’,
there was something new about this coinage. By using the word ‘Dimag’,
the Prime Minister seemed to imply that the very act of thinking is an
offence. The Prime Minister shockingly disregards the constitutional
imperative under which the right to think enjoys unconditional
protection.
Article 19(1) of the founding document of international human rights
law, the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR)
states that, ‘Everyone shall have the right to hold opinions without
interference.’ The only basis for restricting opinions under Article
19(3) is when opinions are expressed through ‘print’, ‘art’, or ‘any
other media’. The basis for restricting opinion are grounds such as
‘national security or of public order (ordre public), or of public
health or morals.’
There is no limitation on the right to hold opinions. The right to
hold opinions without interference is crucial as the human personality
develops through this right. When one uses the word ‘conscience’, it is
fundamentally about the right to hold beliefs which may be at odds with
what the family, society or nation thinks. It is about allowing for the
expression of individual opinion, regardless of what the collective may
think. The Preamble to the Indian Constitution, by setting liberty as
one of the constitutional ideals, sanctifies the idea that people can
think differently and to protect the right to be different is at the
very heart of the Indian Constitution.
The Prime Minister through the coinage of ‘Dimagi Naxal’, expresses
his reservations about this constitutional guarantee according to which
each individual should be allowed to develop in accordance to his or her
way of thinking. For the Prime Minister, when such free ‘thought’
aligns with the ideology of Naxalism, a crime is in the offing. However,
it may not be too far from the truth, to say that for the Modi regime,
you may fall under this category simply for disagreeing with their
policies, raising questions or criticising them.
The Prime Minister by creating this new national enemy called the
‘Dimagi Naxal’, who has to be ‘identified’ and ‘isolated’ is declaring
himself in alignment with the criminalisation of thought crime in
Orwell’s dystopian novel, 1984. As per Orwell, ‘the essential crime that
contained all others in itself’ was the ‘Thoughtcrime’. In Orwell’s
totalitarian state, citizens were terrorized into submission by the
‘thought police’.
The right wing ecosystem latched on to this idea of a ‘thought crime’
and sought to ‘identify’ and ‘isolate’ all those who disagreed with the
policies of the Union Government as ‘Dimagi Naxals’ on social media.
When a pillar of the establishment such as former Home Minister, P.
Chidambaram (who was himself guilty of human rights violations committed
in the name of eradicating Naxalism) tweeted that ‘I am proud to be a
Dimagi Naxal’, something had changed.
Modi’s previous attempts at ‘identifying’ and ‘isolating’ those who
opposed the policies of the BJP government through disparaging labels
such as ‘Urban Naxal’ and ‘Tukde Tukde Gang’ did not see the political
class resist by embracing those labels. In the past it was mostly left
to courageous civil society voices, be it Girish Karnad who wore a
placard saying, ‘I am an Urban Naxal’ or Arundhati Roy who called
herself ‘a proud Andolanjeevi’ to challenge the government’s narrative
of labelling all opposition to its policies as ‘anti-national’.
The new vocabulary of protest while using satire, also drew from the
history of India’s independence movement. This was best embodied in the
formation of the online Dimagi Naxal Party which gathered a strong
online following in just a few hours. The Dimagi Naxal Party declared
that its manifesto is to ‘question everything’, ‘think critically’,
‘seek facts’ and ‘follow the Constitution ‘claiming the tradition’ of
Bhagat Singh, who they noted ‘inspired rational thinking, scientific
temper and fearless questioning’. Bhagat Singh in their estimation ‘read
more books in jail than most cabinets read in a term’ and was therefore
the quintessential ‘Dimagi Naxal.’
The pushback seems to have made the Prime Minister realise that
Indians used to the constitutional protection of the freedom of speech
and expression will not easily submit to the policing of thought itself.
The icons of Indian independence, be it Bhagat Singh or Ambedkar, were
fierce advocates for the freedom of thought and this historical current
could not be delegitimised so easily.
Pushed to a damage control mode, in a rare comedown, the Union
Minister for Parliamentary Affairs, Kiren Rijiju was forced to clarify
on X that,“PM @narendramodi ji didn’t say opposition leaders as Dimagi
Naxals. Only following are Dimagi Naxals: 1. Who support Maoists and
reject Indian Constitution. 2. Who stand with separatists & support
Article 370. 3. Who want to cut chicken neck to separate North-East from
India.”
However, this clarification did little to address the crucial
question as to whether the BJP was willing to abide by the values of the
Indian Constitution. If according to Rijiju, the Prime Minister meant
that Dimagi Naxals were those who supported Maoists and rejected the
Indian Constitution, the best response comes from the archive of human
rights lawyering. When eminent human rights lawyer and former president
of the PUCL, K.G. Kannabiran was asked in court as to ‘why should
Naxalites who do not believe in the Constitution take shelter under
it?’, he replied, “When such issues come before the court, it is your
values and not their values that are on trial. It is the values
enshrined in the Constitution and the values of the state that are under
test.” Simply put, the expression of a viewpoint which rejects the
Constitution is protected speech under the Constitution.
The second category created by Rijiju is the support for Article 370;
this has been voiced by politicians, media and civil society. It cannot
be a criminal offence to voice a political opinion at odds with the way
the Modi government has responded to the Kashmir issue.
Regarding the third category, it must be noted that there is a test
laid down by the Supreme Court as to when speech can be restricted under
the sedition law. In Balwant Singh v. State of Punjab in 1995, the
Supreme Court adjudicated the question as to whether shouting slogans
including, “Khalistan Zindabad” in a crowd the day Indira Gandhi was
assassinated amounted to sedition. The Supreme Court noted, “We find it
difficult to hold that upon the raising of such casual slogans, a couple
of times without any other act whatsoever the charge of sedition can be
founded.” In simple terms, even the advocacy of the viewpoint that the
“chicken neck should be cut to separate North-East from India” is not an
offence. It is only when such advocacy becomes incitement to the act
that the statement can become a criminal offence. In Shreya Singhal v.
Union of India, the Court held that discussion and advocacy of any
cause, however unpopular, lies at the heart of Article 19(1)(a), and
that only incitement may be restricted.
What cannot be forgotten is the context in which the Prime Minister
made his remarks. Just a month ago, a wave of student protests initiated
by the Cockroach Janata Party had pushed the government on the backfoot
and forced the resignation of the Minister for Education, Dharmendra
Pradhan. Clearly the label of ‘Dimagi Naxal’ was nothing other than a
preemptive move to target the burgeoning student movement now spanning
both Gen Z and Gen Alpha.
In the time going forward it is likely that we will see even more
critical speech. We will also see new forms of association both online
and offline to ventilate the grievances of all those dissatisfied with
the current government. We are also likely to see more protests by
students, workers and all those dissatisfied with the status quo.
The constitutional protections of speech, association and assembly
are likely to be tested as never before. It is up to ‘we the people’ to
ensure that our freedoms are not taken away.
We are all Dimagi Naxals!
Bulletin Edition: September 2026
Contents of this Edition of the PUCL Bulletin (print version):
The
International League of Peoples’ Struggle sends our deepest condolences
while standing in solidarity with the people of Nepal affected by the
glacier lake outburst flood across a 72km stretch of the Trishuli River
on August 26th. After a week, the situation is more devastating with
each revelation:
Infrastructure:
around $1.3b USD in damages, 8,317 houses destroyed, 41 bridges and 42
km of road damaged, four flood monitoring stations and 20 schools
destroyed, 13 hydropowered projects damaged, 200 loaded shipping
containers missing, destroyed over 26,000 livestock, wiping out paddy
fields in 20 districts , etc.
Causalities: 1,200 people displaced, over 5,000 injured, at least 1,280 killed, and 5,624 people still missing.
These
flash floods were caused by a glacier collapse linked to the current
climate crisis and exacerbated by US imperialism’s rising parasitism
under Trump, cutting USAID funds for natural hazards monitoring that
Nepal was made dependent on for years.
Across
the Global South, the threat of climate change is no longer a distant
reality, but an existential crisis for the peoples of these colonies and
semi-colonies through a multitude of catastrophes: record-breaking
heatwaves, drought, floods, tropical cyclones, wildfires, and many more
natural disasters have been destroying lives and livelihoods of the
basic masses, especially peasants. It is clear that imperialism’s
incessant need for profit is the cause of this crisis through the
increasing emissions from the imperialist countries with the people in
the neocolonies bearing the burden of the havoc caused by global
warming. For instance, Nepal’s share of the world’s greenhouse gas
emissions is ~0.1%, around 41.5 million tons – the US military alone
emits almost five times as much with 205 million tons. Based on per
capita emissions the responsibility of climate disasters still sits with
the western imperialism as their per capita emissions are sky high as
compared to emissions from countries such as China and India.
Climate
imperialism in South Asia will no doubt bring more horrific disasters
as the glaciers in the Himalayan range cuts across from Nepal to
Pakistan, with Pakistan alone being home to more than 7,000 glaciers
while the entire ecosystem is being impacted by high temperatures in the
region.
A
fresh debacle is the hundreds of data centres that are being built in
the western countries but now rapidly expanding in the South. The high
energy cost, further heating and plundering of water resources is
another threat and cannot be separated from the climate and
environmental crisis.
The
issue will only worsen with the end of the “rules-based order”, which
never intended to solve the climate crisis, but was rather concerned
about potential loss of super-profits from climate change. However, the
junking of even the empty multi-lateral treaties such as the Paris
Agreements, large-scale environmental deregulation, and semi-colonies
hung to dry after cuts to ‘aid’ programs designed to make them
dependent, the turn towards to fascism for unfettered profit has
intensified the crisis. And as seen with Venezuela, they with their
usual gang of financial crooks such as the IMF and WB alongside the
ever-present Zionist entity are eager to seize control amidst disaster.
As
the government of Nepal is now filled with royalist and pro-Western
forces that intend to worsen imperialist plunder, the US and other
imperialist countries turning towards fascism, and the climate crisis
only deepening, the people must rise in droves to fight for not only a
better future, but a future itself. The struggle against climate change
is part-and-parcel with the struggle against imperialism and all
reaction.
The
detainees are former commanders of Nepalese revolutionary forces. The
solution of the problem of Maoist rebels weighs on the future of the
country. The conclusion of the UN mission is also connected to the
process of integrating the forces of the People's Liberation Army into
the ranks of the regular army.
Kathmandu
(AsiaNews) - The Nepalese prime minister is asking India to free the
Maoist rebel commanders detained in Indian prisons. Back from the summit
in the Bay of Bengal (BIMSTEC), Pushpa Kamal Dahal announced the
official request to the head of the government of New Delhi, Manmohan
Singh, to "release our cadres who are in the Patna jail." "The Indian
prime minister has given me a positive commitment," says the Nepalese
leader, whose nickname is "Prachanda."
As of today, more than 20
Maoist rebels are detained in Indian prisons. Immediately after the rise
to power of the Maoist party, New Delhi freed two leading exponents of
the revolutionary forces detained in the prison of Jalpaiguri, to
demonstrate willingness to continue cooperation. The incident has taken
on particular significance partly because of the presence of Maoist
rebel groups operating in India. According to some analysts, the
openness of New Delhi is related to the fact that India is Nepal's main
commercial and economic partner, but the Maoist Prachanda has repeatedly
demonstrated that he is more interested in Beijing than in New Delhi.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi issued a strong warning to Pakistan on September 5, 2026, saying that if Pakistan indulges in any “misadventure,” India’s armed forces will enter its territory and strike. Modi made the remarks while addressing the centenary celebrations of Shri Ram College of Commerce (SRCC) in New Delhi, where he said those spreading terrorism are currently “on the back foot.”
The warning comes against the backdrop of Modi’s repeated emphasis on India’s policy of responding decisively to terr0rism. During his SRCC address, he said that peace had increased from Jammu and Kashmir to the Northeast and claimed that the backbone of Maoist terr0rism and Naxalism had been broken. His remarks reinforced the government’s broader message that India will respond forcefully to threats to its security.
Palestina.
De acuerdo con
Francesca Albanese, relatora especial de la ONU sobre la situación de los
derechos humanos en los territorios palestinos ocupados, el
inicio de los trabajos para retirar escombros en Gaza por parte de la
entidad sionista y la mal llamada “Junta de Paz” de Trump, puede destruir las
pruebas del genocidio cometido contra la población. Mediante un comunicado
Albanese ha dicho que… "En la
devastada Gaza, los escombros no son solo residuos de construcción. Forman
parte de la escena del crimen, de un cementerio y constituyen el registro
material de lo ocurrido durante una campaña de bombardeos brutal y sin sentido
que duró dos años", ya que se estima que debajo
de estos se encuentran sepultados los cuerpos de al menos 10 mil personas,
además de los indicios periciales que la comunidad internacional debería compilar
para juzgar y encarcelar a los criminales de guerra. La “Junta de Paz” que está
financiando estos trabajos recibe subsidios directos de los gobiernos de
Estados Unidos, Emirato Árabes Unidos y Marruecos, respectivamente, e “Israel”
los administra de forma deliberada para borrar las huellas de sus crímenes. Otros
investigadores como Muhammad Shehada, adscrito al Consejo Europeo de Relaciones
Exteriores, sostienen
que“el organismo redirige recursos
destinados a la recuperación de la Franja para sufragar el desalojo clandestino
de cascotes impregnados de restos humanos”. Entre los trabajos que se están
realizando se encuentran la introducción de maquinaria pesada para la remoción y
trituración de escombros, nivelación y compactación de suelo, pavimentación y
construcción de rutas para transporte militar. La barbarie cometida contra Gaza
no parece tener fin; el “alto al fuego” simplemente no existe y desde su firma
en octubre de 2025 a la fecha ya han sido asesinadas 1,352 personas y otras 4,511
han sido heridas. En total, la suma de mártires desde el 7 de octubre de 2023 a
hoy asciende a 73,658
con al menos 174,622 heridos. Ante este escenario, una importante reunión
entre el Movimiento de Resistencia Islámica (Hamás) y el Frente Popular para la
Liberación de Palestina (FPLP) ha tenido lugar esta semana en Beirut,
Líbano. En ella se han establecido algunos ejes de discusión que responden a la
propuesta lanzada recientemente por el FPLP como “Hoja
de ruta para el Rescate Nacional”. Es importante seguir denunciando el
genocidio y la barbarie contra el pueblo palestino, y seguir apoyando a la
heroica Resistencia Nacional Palestina. ¡Muerte
a la maldita entidad sionista! ¡Del río al mar, Palestina vencerá!
the Guardian had published
an Open Letter, signed by Angela Davis along with others. The letter
claims to be a declaration of support to political prisoners in Iran.
Yet its content does not accord to this stated purpose. Addressing
political prisoners in Iran, it says, “…we stand in solidarity with you,
as you are at the intersection of two sources of oppression.” Further,
you “feel stuck between the two blades of a scissors.” This amounts to
equating the aggression of US imperialism and the Zionist regime against
Iran with the repression carried out within Iran by the theocratic,
fascist regime ruling the country. It cannot be whitewashed with the few
words of condemnation against that aggression.
This statement is bad. The US-Zionist
attack on Iran is an act of imperialist aggression against an oppressed
country. It is unjust. The resistance of Iran is just. The theological
fascist comprador character of the Iranian regime does not alter this
essential nature of the war. The peoples of the world must not just
condemn US aggression. They must support Iran’s resistance war.
However, the just nature of this war does
not mean that people in that country or worldwide must unconditionally
support the Iranian ruling classes. Being dependent on the imperialist
system there is a limit to their resistance. Even now, they sustain with
the backing of Chinese social imperialism and Russian imperialism. That
is where their comprador character invariably takes them, to one or the
other imperialist power. Their oppressive, exploitative nature prevents
them from relying on the people.
We must see both these aspects. The
Guardian letter fails to draw a firm line of distinction between the
imperialist aggressor and an oppressed country. Aping its lack of class
analysis, Vijay Prashad and the Monthly Review editors, equate the
Iranian regime’s resistance to US imperialism with anti-imperialism in
general. They state that “…Iran’s anti-imperialism has not been ‘hollow’
at all.” Its resistance is not ‘hollow’ but its ‘anti-imperialism’
certainly is. It fights, and is able to continue fighting, with the aid
and support of two other imperialist powers. Vijay Prashad and the
Monthly Review editors can’t, won’t, see this. Blinded by their
neo-revisionism they even brazenly place the Iranian regime’s resistance
on the same level as the historic People’s War of Vietnam. Their
argument that, “…neutrality or a third space does not exist in the midst
of a war of aggression.”, falsely equates one with the other. A third
space surely exists. It has been demonstrated in China by the CPC led by
Mao Zedong during the Japanese aggression and in Bangladesh by Maoist
revolutionaries during the Indian invasion.
Du 6 au 13 septembre, Justice for Prisoners Kerala
appelle à faire de cette période une semaine de solidarité avec les
prisonniers politiques, qui s’achèvera le 13 septembre, journée
commémorant le martyre de Jatin Das. Révolutionnaire indien engagé
contre la domination coloniale britannique, Jatin Das mourut le 13
septembre 1929 après 63 jours de grève de la faim dans la prison de
Lahore, où il réclamait de meilleures conditions de détention et la
reconnaissance de droits pour les prisonniers politiques. Cette journée
est depuis associée à la lutte pour les droits et la dignité des
prisonniers politiques en Inde.
À Cologne, environ 2 000 personnes ont
participé le 5 septembre à la manifestation de clôture du camp
Rheinmetall Entwaffnen, malgré une importante répression policière. La
manifestation a été encerclée pendant plus de six heures, tandis que les
forces de l’ordre ont procédé à des coups, des arrestations et des
contrôles d’identité. Selon les secouristes, plus de 200 manifestants
ont été blessés, dont 22 ont nécessité une prise en charge médicale,
tandis que l’accès des secours au cortège encerclé aurait été entravé.
Malgré ces violences, les manifestants ont
maintenu leur mobilisation et multiplié les gestes de solidarité et de
résistance : chants et slogans dans le cortège encerclé, rassemblements
spontanés pour soutenir les personnes retenues et nouvelles
manifestations dans le centre-ville. La journée clôturait une semaine
d’actions antimilitaristes contre l’industrie de l’armement et la
militarisation, marquée notamment par des blocages de sites liés à Rheinmetall et à la Bundeswehr.
Allemagne : Des antimilitaristes bloquent une caserne malgré des violences policières
Jeudi 3 septembre, plus de 200 militants
antimilitaristes ont bloqué l’accès à la caserne Lüttich à Cologne,
siège du Bundesamt für Personalmanagement der Bundeswehr, chargé
notamment du recrutement et de la gestion du personnel militaire. La
police a procédé à l’évacuation en frappant les personnes rassemblées,
notamment en donnant des coups de pied, en procédant à des étranglements
et en plaquant des gens au sol. En effet, certains manifestants ont été
traînés par terre ou maintenus au sol par plusieurs agents.
Une militante a perdu connaissance pendant
environ une minute et demie alors que des policiers la traînaient au
sol. Malgré son état, les policiers lui auraient refusé l’accès aux
secouristes et n’auraient pas fait intervenir d’autre aide médicale.
D’autres personnes ont été blessées, dont une hospitalisée. Les
personnes évacuées ont ensuite fait l’objet de mesures d’identification
policière. La répression a également visé les secours et la presse : les
équipes médicales ont été empêchées d’accéder aux manifestants, y
compris à certaines personnes blessées, tandis que des journalistes ont
été tenus à distance et empêchés de filmer certaines interpellations.
Malgré cette répression, le blocage a
permis de perturber pendant plusieurs heures l’accès à l’un des
principaux centres de recrutement et de gestion du personnel des forces
armées allemandes à Cologne. L’action s’inscrit dans le cadre du sommet
Rheinmetall Entwaffnen, un rassemblement antimilitariste organisé à
Cologne et dans la région, qui donne lieu à plusieurs journées d’actions
contre le réarmement et la militarisation. La multiplication de ces
mobilisations, malgré les interventions policières, témoigne également
du développement d’un mouvement antimilitariste en Allemagne, capable de
mener des actions de blocage contre les infrastructures militaires et
l’industrie de l’armement.
NEW DELHI (AP) — Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi said on Saturday that India’s decades-long Maoist insurgency
was nearing its end but warned that the country now faced a new battle
against what he called “dimagi Naxals,” or people who align with the
movement’s ideology.
In his address to the nation on India’s 79th
Independence Day from the ramparts of New Delhi’s 17th-century
Mughal-era Red Fort, Modi said Maoist violence was “breathing its last”
after years of security operations against the insurgency, once
described by Indian authorities as the country’s biggest internal
security threat.
Also known as the Naxalite movement, it
challenged state authority across large swaths of central and eastern
India for decades, leaving thousands of civilians, rebels and security
personnel dead.
“We have succeeded in getting rid of armed Naxals
in the jungles, but ‘dimagi Naxals’ (intellectual Naxals) are looking
for opportunities to create violence and unrest,” Modi said. “They have
to be identified and isolated.”
Desenmascarar el sistema mundial capitalista-imperialista que destruye la naturaleza y el clima
El 26 de agosto, cientos de personas
murieron y resultaron heridas en una inundación repentina en Nepal.
Además, más de mil personas permanecen desaparecidas. La relación entre
el pueblo de Nepal y el de nuestro país se remonta a muchos años atrás,
abarcando desde el comercio cotidiano hasta el intercambio de
experiencias vividas en tiempos de lucha.
En nombre del Departamento Internacional
de nuestro partido, expresamos nuestro pesar y nuestras condolencias a
las familias de las víctimas mortales y afectadas por las inundaciones
repentinas en Nepal. Asimismo, expresamos nuestra solidaridad con los
comunistas revolucionarios de Nepal.
Tras esta terrible inundación repentina,
diversas organizaciones de investigación atribuyen la situación
principalmente al cambio climático a largo plazo. En realidad, el hielo
del Himalaya ha comenzado a derretirse, lo que tiene un impacto negativo
en la naturaleza. Muchos lo afirman, pero ¿por qué sucede esto? El
sistema mundial imperialista-capitalista, centrado en el lucro, está
destruyendo la naturaleza en nombre del supuesto desarrollo y progreso. Y
por ello, la gente común del mundo sufre las consecuencias a través de
inundaciones, sequías, lluvias torrenciales, deslizamientos de tierra,
etc.
Estas inundaciones en Nepal no son solo
una advertencia para el pueblo nepalí; son para todo el sur de Asia y el
mundo. El impacto de las inundaciones ya ha llegado a Bihar. El primer
ministro de Bihar, Samrat Choudhary, ha solicitado la apertura de las
compuertas de la presa de Farakka. Y todos sabemos que, de hacerse, las
consecuencias también afectarán a nuestro país. Por lo tanto, esta
crisis no es solo de Nepal, sino que también nos afecta a todos.
Hoy, el programa para salvar la Tierra, la
vida, la naturaleza y el clima se ha erigido como un programa
fundamental para los comunistas de todos los países. Por lo tanto,
salvar el clima, la vida, la naturaleza y la Tierra forma parte de la
lucha de clases. Por ello, esta lucha debe impulsarse aún más bajo el
liderazgo de una organización unida de comunistas a nivel mundial.
Hacemos un llamamiento a todo el pueblo y a los revolucionarios de Nepal:
Apoya a las personas afectadas.
Desenmascarar las actividades destructivas de la naturaleza y el clima que llevan a cabo los gobernantes.
Finalmente, nuestro llamado al pueblo de
Bangladesh: Oponerse a este sistema imperialista que destruye la
naturaleza. Iniciar la lucha para lograr una distribución equitativa de
todos los ríos comunes con la India.
Departamento Internacional,
Partido Proletario de Purbo Bangla (PBSP/Bangladesh),
Las diversas organizaciones que componemos la Coordinación Clasista y Popular, queremos hacer un llamado a marchar en la romería a 53 años del golpe de Estado.
Convocamos a marchar también contra la ofensiva precarizadora proveniente de los sectores más reaccionarios de la burguesía, que hoy buscan profundizar la precarización de la vida de la clase trabajadora y del pueblo. Frente a esto, creemos que lo justo es rebelarse.
Para nosotros y nosotras, la memoria es un ejercicio de rebeldía y combatividad, frente al oportunismo de quienes ocupan esta fecha solamente para conmemorar la derrota de su sector reformista. Nosotros, por el contrario, seguimos creyendo en las fuerzas propias de las masas y del pueblo; seguimos creyendo en la organización y en la protesta popular, así como en los métodos históricos con que la clase trabajadora y el pueblo han podido conquistar una mejor vida a lo largo de la historia.
Creemos que hoy es necesario articular las fuerzas de las masas populares que se encuentran en lucha, avanzar para salir de la atomización, la fragmentación y el sectarismo, poniendo en el centro la necesidad de encontrarnos y organizarnos en función de los intereses de la clase trabajadora y el pueblo.
Si ellos continúan intensificando la miseria, la explotación y la represión mediante sus leyes represivas y antipopulares, nosotros reafirmamos una vieja verdad:
A large-scale funeral and farewell ceremony was held yesterday in Rotterdam to commemorate Haydar Kutan (Hoca), who passed away on August 24, and to send him off on his final journey to Dersim.
At the ceremony, the Maoist Communist Party (MKP)
delivered a speech on Haydar Kutan’s (Hoca) life, his struggle, and his
contributions to the revolutionary struggle as a cadre. Following the
speech, a slideshow featuring images and speeches by Hoca was presented.
Following the video presentation, the
revolutionary organizations participating in the event delivered their
messages. A representative from Partizan also gave a speech at the memorial event, extending condolences to Haydar Kutan’s family, friends, and comrades.
During the speech, attention was drawn to Haydar Kutan’s role as an intellectualworkerwho,
throughout his revolutionary life, created, wrote, and was constantly
in search of new ideas. Emphasis was placed on his modest and
self-sacrificing personality, which valued friendship and mutual respect
among revolutionaries. It was stated that Haydar Kutan’s legacy and his
contributions to the struggle would live on in the revolutionary
struggle.
The march “Dağ Dumandır,” which Hoca loved to sing and listen to, was sung in unison by those attending the ceremony.
The farewell event, attended by revolutionaries from all walks of life, concluded with a mass singing of “The Internationale” and the chanting of slogans.
The funeral of Haydar Kutan (Hoca), who
had lived in exile for 47 years and was being sent off to Dersim—a place
he had longed for for years—will be laid to rest today following a
ceremony to be held in Dersim.
Yet
again, the blind hatred of Maghaberry screws towards Irish culture has
manifested itself in the destruction of two Celtic crosses, handmade as
memorial gifts for family members of lost loved ones.
The
two items left Roe House, Republican Landing, a number of weeks ago in
boxes to protect their delicate make-up. Yet, by the time they reached
Visits Reception, the Security Department had drilled holes through the
bottom of the crosses, directly through the names of Republican
prisoners.
This
was a recurring problem years ago, which now seems to have become
commonplace again, despite the fact that an X-ray scanner exists within
the prison. Its existence removes any false pretence or necessity to
vandalise items such as these with drills.
The
lack of respect shown towards Irish culture and the lost loved ones of
Republican prisoners comes in the same week that Republican prisoner
Barry Toman was refused compassionate bail to attend the funeral of his
uncle.
During
the application, the Maghaberry administration advised that they could
facilitate the viewing of the funeral via a video link. This assurance
influenced the court’s decision to refuse Barry compassionate temporary
release (CTR).
However,
the administration never facilitated the video link, despite repeated
requests from Barry on the morning of the funeral. Eventually, a
governor came onto the landing two hours after the burial to offer what
amounted to an insincere apology.
This lack of respect comes as no surprise to Republican prisoners, but it should be condemned by all right-minded people.
Depuis
maintenant plus d’un an et demi, Alex, militant pro palestinien
lyonnais et militant anti-impérialiste, est littéralement harcelé par
l'état Français. En mars 2025, il est arrêté sur le tarmac de l'aéroport
de Paris a son retour du Maroc par une équipe de la police anti
terroriste, pendant que son appartement est perquisitionné et subit
ensuite un strict contrôle judiciaire à la fin de ses 48h de garde a vue
et de son passage devant le juge. Il sera même suspendu
administrativement de son travail avant son jugement, ce qui est
fondamentalement anti-démocratique. On lui reproche un discours de
soutien au peuple palestinien et à Georges Abdallah.
Il
est jugé en janvier 2026 et écope de 10 mois de prison avec sursis,
2000€ d'amende, 5 ans d'interdiction de port d'arme, 5 ans
d'inéligibilité, ainsi qu'une inscription au FIJAIT (fichier des auteurs
d’infractions terroristes).
En
mars 2026, il est à nouveau perquisitionné par la police anti
terroriste et maintenu en garde à vu pendant 48h, avant d'être déféré à
nouveau, cette fois pour des propos tenus à Beyrouth, au Liban en
soutien au peuple palestinien. De nouveau placé sous contrôle judiciaire
il ne peut manifester, ni quitter la France et doit pointer une fois
par semaine au commissariat.
Son procès aura lieu le 14 septembre à Lyon, et le procès en appel aura lieu le 26 octobre a Paris pour sa première affaire.
Na tarde do dia 3 de setembro, foi puxada uma mobilização em favor dos porteiros da UFF, que de forma justa estão denunciando a empresa de terceirização (soluções) que saiu do contrato sem pagar o retroativo do reajuste salarial e o adicional de insalubridade, o que deveria ser um direito dos terceirizados, vem sendo negado a eles por parte da empresa Gaia.
Os porteiros após a paralisação vem sofrendo perseguições, assédio e demissões no ambiente de trabalho por parte dos supervisores que continuaram no cargo mesmo após a troca de empresas no contrato, além disso, o sindicato dos porteiros negou apoio a essa paralisação, gerando mais força para essas perseguições.
Por isso, diretórios acadêmicos e o sindicato se servidores da UFF (SINTUFF) se juntaram para fazer um ato em apoio aos terceirizados, puxado pelo coletivo Invisíveis, Novo Mepr e RPE (Resistência Popular Estudantil) após a agitação próximo ao bandejão 1 do Campus Gragoatá, o ato seguiu em direção a reitoria. Após a chegada na reitoria, foi feita
uma comissão com um representante de cada entidade ali presente, no
momento em que estavam entrando nos elevadores, os seguranças barraram a
subida de forma bem truculenta, puxando o representante do SINTUFF pela
camisa, diante disso, os estudantes ali presentes ocuparam o hall
enquanto o integrante do SINTUFF tentava um diálogo para que fosse feira
uma audiência com a reitoria, entretanto, como sempre o reitor não
estava presente, então foi tirada uma reunião entre os diretórios, DCE e
SINTUFF para pressionar a reitoria, que se comprometa em fazer uma
audiência pública para que se resolva esse absurdo cometido contra os
porteiros
Interview au Monde de Sophie Binet : il est urgent d’attendre les élections !
N° 994 02/09/2026
Nous avons suivi et commenté le récent congrès de la CGT, nous
alertions sur la conversion assumée à la collaboration de classe. La
récente interview (28 août) au Monde, de Sophie Binet, sa
secrétaire-générale, confirme, on ne peut après l’appel plus creux du
CCN de la CGT fin août qu’il n’est plus question de lutter contre le
Capital, mais il est urgent d’attendre.
Dans son chapeau avant interview, le ou la journaliste du Monde écrit ceci : « La secrétaire générale de la CGT s’inquiète de la "torpeur"
du pays dans le contexte inédit d’une extrême droite proche du pouvoir
par les urnes et veut saturer le débat sur les questions sociales afin
d’empêcher une victoire du Rassemblement national (RN). ». Il
serait aisé de lui répondre que beaucoup de travailleurs s’inquiètent de
la torpeur de la CGT depuis pas mal de mois face aux attaques sans
précédent menées par le relais principal de la classe dominante,
l’exécutif macroniste allant de Hollande à Retailleau et parfois de
Tondelier à Le Pen, au moment où se construit la destruction finale de
tous les conquis sociaux de 45, à commencer par la Sécurité sociale.
Cela d’ailleurs se vérifie dans cette intention de « saturer le débat »
et pas d’organiser la riposte de classe contre la Bourgeoisie
capitaliste et ses fondés de pouvoir. La mise sous l’éteignoir de la
lutte des classes nourrit toutes les idéologies participant au jeu (bien
fourni en apparence) de la classe dominante, à savoir tous les partis
politiques représentés au Parlement, et pas mal au-delà. Ayant, dans le
discours, depuis le dernier congrès et, dans les faits depuis un an,
après la destruction de la riposte initiée le 10 septembre 2025,
substitué la lutte contre « l’extrême-droite » à la lutte de classes
contre le Capital, la CGT est désormais franchement sur la route de la
collaboration de classe et cette interview ne démentira en quoi que ce
soit cet état de fait objectif.
The 31st of July 2026 marks the
106th anniversary of the founding of the Communist Party of Great
Britain, the party of and for the liberation of the working class.
The Party was formed from the
most advanced, militant sections of the powerful industrial workers
movement of the time. They understood workers could only achieve true
political power by forming their own Party capable of successfully
leading workers in their combative struggle for socialism and
liberation.
Whilst many claim the name of
the “Communist Party” today, our class has remained without its vanguard
since the loss of the CPGB as a revolutionary force due to revisionism.
Reconstituting the Communist Party means decisively rejecting the path
of elections and reformism, instead taking up the arduous task of
developing revolutionary leadership in the many fronts of class
struggle.
The
Communist Party is a party of a new type. It must be able to weather
the brutal repression of the ruling class whilst organising mass,
revolutionary class-combat in service of the People. We do not commit
ourselves to this task because it is easy, but because it is the
unavoidable task that revolutionaries must take to achieve Socialist
Revolution in Britain.
As the ranks of the proletarian
and anti-imperialist movements continue to grow across the country, this
statement of unity demonstrates the growing call of revolutionaries to
recognise and take up the task of reconstituting the Communist Party on
the path to Socialist Revolution. The revolutionary road is being taken
once again. We will not stop until liberation.
Celebrate 106 years of the CPGB! Reconstitute the Communist Party!
