We share this image which was sent to us and is documenting an action in solidarity and in front of the occupied HWP building of the Hamburg University. The building and another building of the main campus has been occupied for 3 days.

We publish an english translation of this call of the Rote Ruhr Crew:

We support the call of the comrades of the Revolutionary Construction - FRG to support the struggle of the political prisoners in India and call to participate and to enfold the day of action to its fullest.

For decades the old Indian state is waging a ceaseless terror campaign against the broad and oppressed masses of India and the progressive and revolutionary forces, that lead them.

The country's bureaucratic bourgeoisie and its henchmen tried to drown every rebellion and revolt against the semi-colonial lackey of imperialism in blood, in order to maintain their order against the revolutionary resistance of the masses.

On the 14th and 15th of April the 8th Summit of the America‘s took place in Lima, Peru. The first Summit was held in 1994, originally initiated by the former US-President, Bill Clinton, to promote prosperity through economic integration and free trade by gathering together all leaders of North, Central and Latin America (obviously meaning to promote US-prosperity and power through imperialist oppression).

We publish this translation of a report that was sent to us:

I am a student at the University of Hamburg. Several fellow students told me about an action that happened Wednesday in a lecture on history and culture of the middle east. The lecture is led by professor Ludwig Paul, who more then once left a sour taste in the mouth of some fellow students.
During the lecture, two hooded people bust into the room and called slogans like „Long live international solidarity“, throwing leaflets in the lecture room. I attach a copy of this leaflet.
After this, the comrades called for a meeting in the social centre B5, while discussions started in the lecture hall.

On Friday, a good many number of reports on the most recent actions of the comrades in Colombia surfaced on the website El Comunero depicting the great initiatives and successful campaigns launched and led by the comrades of MESP and MERyP. The following is a brief summery on the actions of the comrades in recent weeks.

The propaganda campaign of the bourgeois press and the old state against the Indian comrades who carry out the people's war continues. They invent exaggerated heroic stories to ennoble the fight against the people, as the headline "Stabbed, jawan fights 4 armed Maoists bare-handed, makes them flee" published by the “Times of India” makes more than clear. An awesome human-being tells a tale where he was surrounded and disarmed by four Maoists, but could magically manage to get his gun back. The stab wound in his chest obviously didn’t bother him at all. Of course, he then also fired at them. However, he doesn’t seem to be the best shooter, since he didn’t hit with a single bullet (that was, of course, because he had to be careful to not shoot any civilians). We’re pretty convinced that this member of the reactionary forces of India is not telling the whole truth. But this hero’s story fits perfectly into the government’s attempt of demoralizing the oppressed people and spreading the word that Maoism would be at its “last leg”, as Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh lately claimed in a speech, praising the successes of the CPRF (a paramilitary force that carries out “anti-Naxalite operations”). Furthermore, he claimed that the Maoists were "anti-poor" and "anti-development" and that everyone knew that too. These absurd insinuations prove that the old state is calculatingly spreading lies about the Maoist ideology, because anyone who has the slightest idea of the almighty ideology of the proletariat - which actually is represented by Marxism-Leninism-Maoism, principally Maoism -  knows that Maoism is fighting for wiping out poverty once and for all by building a new, classless society, which means historical progress – and development - in its purest form.

On the 6th of April, the National Police of Peru once againbroke down the gate to the San Marcos University Campus. For weeks the students of the university struggle against fees that have to be paid to attend the university.

Just one week ago, on the 31st of March, Policebroke down the gates and allegedly found molotovcocktails on the premises. They attacked the students and took six of them prisoner.

At least once a year the comrades of the FERP organize Popular Support Brigades in the areas of the Mapuche. But these are not mere touristic ventures in which one gets to drive through the areas of the Mapuche for an evening: Each year, great delegations of sympathizers, masses and activists are mobilized to go to the countryside for a lengthy period and to live, work and fight side by side with the Mapuche. As already done in the last years, the comrades also in this year assembled a video about the work of the Popular Support Brigades.
