DEM VOLKE DIENEN

Yesterday the comrades of IKK-online.org confirmed the death of the six combatants of the TIKKO. Tanju Er (Samet) from Tokat; Mehmet Keleş (Mahir) from Samsun; Tarık Akın (Yetiş) from Erzincan; Zeynel Çakıl (Haydar) from Dersim; İlker Tezer (Yusuf) from Dersim; Mustafa Sarıca (Taylan) from Ankara have all fallen in the night from the 5th of August to the 6th of August during an encounter with the Turkish Army. So far, three funerals for those who have fallen took place – all with a massive military and police presence. Today, the funeral march of Samet was attacked by riot police and disguised police agents, just like the funeral march of Yetiş only a few days ago.

The old Indian state has realized that the poor Indian tribal youth is most likely to join the CPI (Maoist) to fight against their unbearable living conditions. They join the people's war to crush the old Indian state, and to fight for the new democratic revolution. Because if they don’t, they expect nothing but poverty, while they see that the ruling classes, the imperialists' lackeys, are getting richer and give no crap about the people’s needs but steal their lands and continue oppressing and exploiting the masses.

We forward the global call for solidarity and to fight, which was decided in a big and broad plenary of the campaign against the persecution to the 23 and all who dare to struggle, it is the first demonstration of the current campaign for the 23 in Brazil that will take place on August 14 and we forward the call for all democratic and revolutionary movement to join. Link for the Russian version.

GLOBAL CALL FOR SOLIDARITY AND TO FIGHT:

"August 14th, international day of support for the 23 activists sentenced in Rio de Janeiro, in defense of the right to protest, for all who fight"

We call on all social movements, popular and revolutionary organizations, trade unions, student movements, human rights groups, progressive intellectuals and other sectors of civil society to organize simultaneous actions in this great day of solidarity and struggle against the criminalization of social movements and in defense of the right to protest.

Suggestions for action:

- Street demonstrations at Brazilian embassies or consulates in the countries (if possible, delivery of memoranda repudiating political persecution to the 23)
-Debates, lectures against the criminalization of the struggle in university and schools.
- Hanging of posters to support the 23 on walls, lampposts and other public places.
- Displaying of banners supporting the 23 at working, studying or housing places. 
- Taking photographs of people holding posters and posting them on social networks to support the 23 and all who fight.

We suggest that each country or city bring, together with the agenda of the 23, the debates regarding the criminalization of those who fight in their localities! We have examples of arrests and political persecutions in all parts of the world, the most recent example being of young Palestinian Ahed Tamimi who for six months has shown an example of bravery and not succumbing to a prison sentence
Each and every support action is welcome!
Let's show that the 23 are not alone!
This attack represents an attack on everyone fighting in different parts of the world! Our struggle is a classist and internationalist struggle!
Register your support actions! We will be posting throughout the day manifestations from different locations! Send your photo or video to:

In the following we like to document a video interview with Professor Tsien about how the Great Proletarian Culture Revolution impacted the universities and himself personally. Prior to it, he nursed thoughts of imitating the model of the Yankees and Social-imperialist Russia as he considered them superior to Chinas universities. He was selfish and through out 20 years of his university career and only had his own ego in mind. He despised his son for choosing a workers path.

We publish an unofficial english translation of the important statement that was posted in FLDP (Front for the Defense of the People´s Struggles - free translation) website.

“In times of difficulty we must not lose sight of our achievements, must see the bright future and must pluck up our courage.”

C. Mao

We publish an inofficial translation of a declaration of french comrades:

Before the football world cup was held in Brazil in 2014, major mass demonstrations, particularly involving the popular youth, took place to protest against holding of such a miserable cover for the propaganda of the comprador regime, against the immense waste of resources, against the bloody anti-people's attacks of "cleansing" and against the destruction of several hundred dwellings which was required for it to take place.

We share the information from an article published by CORRIENTE DEL PUEBLO SOL ROJO [Current of the People Red Sun], which states that they joined other groups in the creation of the Coordination for the Freedom of Criminalised People from the people´s movement in Oaxaca, which includes ten organizations of the struggling people.

According to various Turkish-language reports six combatants of the TIKKO, the Liberation Army of the Workers and Peasants of Turkey under the leadership of the TKP/ML, fell in action in the early hours of the 6th of August. The reactionary press claims, that in the night from the 5th to the 6th of August, the combatants were on the move to ambush a military outpost of the Turkish army, when they were engaged by enemy troops flanked by air support. The firefight in the area of Tunceli, that lasted until the early hours of Monday, left six heroic combatants of the Turkish people dead.
