In the Russian semi-colony, Kazakhstan, a new, old president was elected. The election was accompanied by strong protests and sharp repression, because the people of Kazakhstan are not longer willing to accept the bourgeoisie's dictatorship.

Since several weeks, the imperialist superpower, the United States, is trying to start a war against Iran. In the last two weeks, imperialist aggression against the Iranian people has become more and more acute, from which German imperialism benefits also.

The elections to the National Assembly are still going on in India. Thus, the People's Liberation Guerrilla Army, under the leadership of the Communist Party of India (Maoist), has carried out several campaigns for an active election boycott since our last article.

On Thursday, April 11, the elections to the National Assembly in India began, lasting a total of five weeks. Before and during the elections several actions were carried out for an active election boycott under the leadership of the Communist Party of India (Maoist)

Also this week, the People's Liberation Guerrilla Army under the leadership of the Communist Party of India (Maoist) has carried out several actions in the ongoing election boycott campaign and inflicted heavy losses to the old Indian state.

The elections to the National Assembly are still pending in India, but the associated campaigns are not in the bourgeoisie's sense at all . For example, in Andrha-Pradesh, all candidates and parties were required from the Indian state to keep their election campaign to a minimum, as security can not be guaranteed. Some parties completely abstain from public election campaigns, such as the revisionist CPI (M), they are afraid of the people.

The old Indian state can not rest, not just before the upcoming elections in several states, as well as the election to the People's Assembly. Already in the first two and a half weeks of this month, the People's Liberation Guerrilla Army under the leadership of the Communist Party of India (Maoist) has carried out further actions.

As was decided by the high court of Mumbai on Tuesday, in a couple of weeks time comrade Ajith will receive the opportunity to temporarily walk free on bail. Accused of being a leader within the Communist Party of India (Maoist) Ajith had been arrested early in May 2015 with fake documents in a conspiratorially rented flat and prior requests for bail being granted had been denied. Internationally, as well as in the FRG, a powerful campaign developed since then aiming towards the release of the comrade.

Already in 1976 Ajith had been taken into custody by police special forces in Kerala in connection to an attack on police barracks and had subsequently been put into the notorious torture prison Kakkaya. The following four decades the comrade, mostly developing his revolutionary work as a professional revolutionary, were marked by great achievements won by him in service of the revolution. He firmly stood side by side with the most oppressed in India, wrote at least five books (among other things an analysis of the social conditions in the countryside in Kerala), in times of his illegality avoided time and again the spotlight of the reaction (making it possible for example, to participate in the RIM Meeting 1984 in France) and he became to be considered a central leading militant within the party by the reaction.

On May 9 2015 he was found near Pune by “anti terror forces” and kidnapped while he was there for treatment on account of a heart disease. Because of the massive international pressure and the broad solidarity the Indian reaction now seemingly is making concessions in the trial against him.
