On occasion of the latest trial date in the so-called TKP/ML trial a manifestation was held in front of the Munich court in solidarity with those who stand accused in the trial. Using the slogan “Freedom for Dr. Banu Büyükavcı, Dr. Sinan Aydın, Sami Solmaz and all political prisoners” a broad platform of organizations mobilized to this manifestation, after three of the defendants in the trial, Banu, Sinan and Sami, had been rearrested on June 25.

In numbers protesters, activists and sympathizers gathered on Monday morning to take this opportunity of the trial date do demand in and outside of court the release of the imprisoned. In slogans and speeches the role of German imperialism was denounced, which – hand in hand with the Turkish government and on the basis of their “evidence” - hunts activists in Germany and Europe, targeting them with repression and harassing them.
 
The case of Banu, Sinan and Sami shows this well: First, absolutely over-exaggerated arrests and raids made by special forces armed to the teeth in order to stigmatize the activists as “terrorists” from the beginning. Then, a trial that drags on for years with out any verdict, while the defendants remain incarcerated, also for years (!). Then, their release because of the sheer discrepancy between years of jail on one hand, but no conviction on the other and due to public pressure. And then, the rearrest, yet again through special forces, during the trial and while in court.
 
As also the lawyer of Sami expressed during the manifestation, the recent rearrests are not due to the penal code, but politically motivated. It is obvious: To imprison activists for years without convicting them, to then release them for a couple of months so they can walk free, only to rearrest them later is nothing but state-organized terror to break the defendants.

May 8 marks the Norwegian Day of Liberation from occupation by fascist Germany. On this years 8th of May however US scare-monger and "alt-right" enthusiast Steve Bannen choose to visit the Norwegian town of Bergen. We document a recently issued report by the comrades from Tjen Folket Media on the protest aginst his visit:

After the airstrike on internment camps for refugees with more than 40 dead people, near the Libyan capital Tripoli, all parties to the conflict deny any involvement in this war crime. It has not been conclusively clarified if the troops of the Libyan unity government, which was brought to power in 2011 by a NATO war, under the auspices of the United States, the only hegemonium and main enemy of the peoples and France. Or if it was the troops of the apostate General Haftar, who is now supported by the US. Both the reigning Libyan president and the former CIA employee Haftar vehemently deny this. While it is obvious that it was the rebel forces that actually wanted to hit an adjacent base of pro-government militias.

A few days ago a new blog went online: The one of the Red Press. There, the comrades behind the project have made the effort to scan and make available all issues of the magazine "Class Position" and  the newspaper "Red Post". Furthermore, various articles have been digitized in a way that allows them to be presented directly as plain text. Since February 2018 the "Red Post", as a mass newspaper, is released consistently once a month and hence has become a constant presence in the class struggle in the FRG. The magazine "Class Position" that is (particularly in its latest issues) more theory-loaded has an even longer period of existence, with the publication of the first issue more than five years ago, in June 2014.

We have now added them into our link list and hope, that this does not contradict the interests of the comrades and activists behind both these newspaper projects.

Expressing solidarity with the struggle of the Brazilian people against the recent budget cuts by the current government of Bolsonaro and the yoke of imperialism, comrades from Austin painted a wall painting that was taken up by Incendiary News today as an occasion to report on the latest scandal in the continuously simmering political crisis in the country. We mirror their article here:

AUSTIN: Solidarity With People’s Struggle in Brazil

The following images were received from Austin today in solidarity with the people’s struggle in Brazil. The red paint on the wall reads, “Down with Bolsonaro and US Imperialism / Support the Struggle in Brasil” with a hammer and sickle.

Fascist Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro made the news recently when a sergeant who was accompanying him to the imperialist G20 summit in Japan was caught attempting to smuggle 39 kilograms of cocaine in Spain. The controversy is only the latest for Bolsonaro’s administration, which has raised the ire of the Brazilian people with its reactionary policies, such as cuts to social security and education.

Last month, upwards of 45 million people participated in a general strike against the government in protest of these cuts and other reactionary measures across 350 cities.

The people’s struggle in Brazil extends beyond the cities as well, where a large peasant movement continues to broaden and win victories. Earlier this year, the peasants of the Renato Nathan Revolutionary Area were able to secure electricity for themselves as part of the greater Agrarian Revolution in the region.

The revolutionary struggle is legitimate everywhere! We are on the site of those, who defend revolution!
Freedom for Dr. Banu Büyükavcı, Dr. Sinan Aydın, Sami Solmaz and all other political prisoners!

On April 15, 2015, ten revolutionaries were arrested by means of international raids, centralized in Germany, on charges of supposed membership in the TKP/ML in an illegal and anti-democratic form, in collaboration of the German state with the Turkish state.

We share this call of the League against imperialist Aggression Hamburg:

Manifestation on 3rd of July 17:00 S-Bahn Sternschanze.

After Venezuela, another country is threat by a Yankee-imperialist intervention. Iran, which opposes the subordination under the USA, is supposed to be bown down by sanctions and military interventions.


For decades, yankee-imperialism wages war against the opressed countries of west asia: hunger and misery for the population is normal in many countries.

The USA fight against all countries which do not want to subordinate. An expansion of their "leverage" like important crude materials and territory, against other imperialist countries like russia sharpens the imperialist aggressions in these regions further.

The attacks against the iranian sovereignty by now are cyber attacks and economic sanctions. In Trumps own words, in last minute an act of reprisal against the Iran was averted. The danger of a military intervention raises. The USA made clear, they just want to have a "concession to hunt for the middle east". The yankee-imperialists draw a picture of a "growing danger" by Iran, based on obscure intel reports, which even parts of their own government do not believe. This "setting of danger" is to be put against an aggressionfront of the yankees with their lakeys. They already arm up in their semicolonies.

Iran has the right of national independence, and even the main enemy of the people, yankee-imperialism cannot change this.

Not the iranian government but the iranian people wil suffer from the sanctions!

The imperialist aggressions will lead to uprising of the iranian people and its formation to a national liberation movement, which will oppose the imperialist resolutely!

Long live international solidarity!
