Today the courts in Munich withdrew the arrest warrant issued against the Turkish activist Deniz Pektaş who stands accused in the so-called TKP/ML trials for supposedly being a high ranking member of that organization and, hence, of  having violated "anti-terror" paragraph 129a/b. On the condition to still having to attend court session, he was released after he spend more then four years in prisons of the German state, partially in solitary confinement, without ever being sentenced for a crime.

Comrades from Dazibao Rojo have documented a picture of an action in support of the international campaign for Dr. Sernas to be presented alive and well and for justice for the murdered Luis Armando to be served. The picture taken in Galica shows the extend of the campaign initiated by the Mexican comrades from Sol Rojo, that with the posters put up now by the comrades has further extended to also stretch to the Iberian Peninsula.

In a huge possession along the Falls Road in Belfast Alex Murphy was laid to rest yesterday. In young years, he was the most junior political prisoner of the republican movement in the notorious Long Kesh prison, only being 15 years old. When British army officers in plain clothes attacked a funeral procession in 1988 by driving the car into the march and starting to shoot, it supposedly was Alex Murphy who killed both officers – at least this is what he was convicted and sentences for life for.

We share this article from Comrades in Norway:

On Tuesday, NRK wrote that police have arrested ten youths in Bogerud in Oslo after an alleged fight.

As usual, there were a number of articles where the police and media agitated against proletarian youth, especially those with immigrant-backgrounds who were singled out by acting Deputy Police Chief Johan Fredriksen.

Minister of Justice Jørgen Kallmyr has shown his fascistic tendencies and in response demands more “discipline” in schools while standing by the statements made by the aforementioned Deputy Police Chief.

We document a report with pictures of the demonstration "Justice for Adel", which was sent to us.

On the 8th of August a demonstration took place in Essen-Altendorf in memory of Adel B., shot by German policemen. In advance, the press has thrown around with a lot of dirt. On one side against Adel B. himself, who was portrayed as a mad Muslim knife-wielder . And on another side against revolutionaries who work in this district. But the "Initiative Justice for Adel" has been able to expose the lies of the German state and its press. From self-defense they quickly changed to emergency aid and this lie also crumbled after the demo like a house of cards. The closest relatives and friends could tell, either directly or through others, what kind of person Adel B. was. The demonstration and the exposure of the cover-up of the German state are a heavy blow against his fairy tales.

We share this article by a commentator for Tjen Folket Media.

NRK reports that Norwegian soldiers have joined UN forces in the West African country of Mali. The country was a part of the French colonies in Africa, and is still dominated by French imperialism. We must see through the lies of Western media and reveal that Western imperialism by no means brings peace and development for these African masses.
