We mirror this article from network for the freedom of all politcal prisoners:

*As soon as the Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan ended his visit to Germany on 29.09.2018, a nationwide raid was carried out on the 02.10.2018 against alleged members of the popular movement "REVOLUTIONARY ARAMAEANS" (Süryani Devrimciler) by the state protection of German imperialism.

Thus it came that for the 26.07.18, 28.05.19, 29.05.19, 2x 23.08.19 and 28.08.19 from the state security police of Bavaria and Baden-Wittenberg each a summons as an accused of violating the Law on Associations as well as using marks of unconstitutional organizations for the 1. May 2018 demonstration.

On September 12, in the capital of the state of Paraná, Curitiba, grafittis were installed on a bridge and a wall of a Portuguese corporation to mobilize for the general strike, which were signed with "Liga Operária" (workers' league).

During last week, on the night of the September 11, the Brazilian Embassy in Brussels, Belgium, was attacked and disfigured with paint. The activists carrying out the action in chrome painted the slogan "Bolsonaro = Ecocide" and splattered red paint as well as red hand prints, to give an impression of spilled blood. Hence, the action was obviously organized to denounce the burning down of the Amazonian rain forest, that is not only tolerated by the Brazilian Government, but in fact promoted and defended. In the fire that was fiercest only weeks ago, and in many cases set by landowners to burn down protected woods on their estates or to destroy nature reserves so to be able to buy them afterwards, several people lost their lives.

Climate change, caused by the imperialist mode of production, has many different effects. In this article we want to shed some light on the influence of the greenhouse effect as a cause of flight on the African continent.

The 1st of September marks the anniversary of the attack of German Imperialism on Poland and is commemorated as the Anti-War Day in which a wide range of organizations in the FRG, mostly from the so-called "Peace Movement" and anti-imperialist forces, go to the streets to denounce imperialist warmongering and chauvinism (as already reported). In Hamburg, a combative detachment of proletarian revolutionaries participated in a demonstration that day1.

On occasion of today’s 27th anniversary of the arrest of the Chairman Chairman Gonzalo, the media outlet of the Irish Socialist Republican movement has published a salute towards the Communist Party of Peru and the ongoing People’s War in the country, which we hence forth document:

Free Chairman Gonzalo!

Abimael Guzman, better known to the world as Chairman Gonzalo, is the 84 year old imprisoned leader of the Communist Party of Peru (PCP), the Peruvian Revolution and is currently serving two life sentences in Callo Naval Base, Peru, for his leadership of the Protracted People’s War in the Country throughout the 1980s and early 1990s.

Comrades from the Association New Democracy have compiled a list of press snippets on the still ongoing protests that highlight, how the current situation in Arequipa in the south of Peru develops. There the struggle that originated around the protest against the Tía María mega-mining project is continuing for close to 60 days and, instead of the protests cooling down, the masses again and again find new ways to raise their protest.

As was reported in various news sources in the end of last month / the beginning of this month, mayor parts of the FARC announced their return to arms in a video they published, after the peace agreements made after a referendum in 2016. Comrades from Ecuador, that shares a border with Colombia to the north, have published an important document on that matter, that has found widespread circulation in the ICM. In the following we document the (unofficial translation) of their statement.

The FARC: The return to arms

“Everything is illusory except power!”
