DEM VOLKE DIENEN

We report Actions, which were executed in several cities in six states of FRG in response of the call for a nationwide day of action on April 23^th, the 49^th founding day of the Communist Party of India (marxist-leninist), that were sent to us. We especially want to point out the actions of our comrades in France and Austria, that participated at this day of action.

Two paintings were put up in Marseille:

“Freedom for Comrade Ajith”

“Long live the People's War in India”

The comrades in Austria executed a massive campaign in five states, among others an action in front of the Indian embassy in Vienna, as well as information events held and propaganda spread. An extensive report can be found here.

We also want to mention the publication of a document of the founder and chairman of the CPI(ML), which can be found on newepoch.media.

On another website, the document "Why Must We Form the Party Now?" of Charu Mazumdar from the founding year of the Party, from which the current CPI (maoist) stems, has been translated to German and published.

Other actions in the FRG have been a manifestation in front of the Indian embassy in Berlin, where several revolutionary groups took part. With speeches, amongst others about the situation of the political and prisoners of war and especially the role of women in the People's War in India, the situation of the people of India was reported. This was underlined with combative slogans like “Death to imperialism – People's War till communism”, “Long live the international solidarity” and “Solidarity means resistance  - fight fascism everywhere”.



Two graffiti, supporting the People's War and the CPI (maoist), were placed beforehand in different parts of Berlin.

In Bremen an unauthorised demonstration has been done in the peoples neighbourhood of Blockdieck. The demonstration, with shouting slogans like “Long live international Solidarity”, “Solidarity means resistance  - fight fascism everywhere”, “The true face of their democracy – mass murderers is what they are”, “Freedom for all political prisoners”, “Laal Salam”, “Solidarity means resistance  - fight fascism everywhere” and “I was, I am and I will be – the revolution will liberate humankind” was greeted combatively and supported by the masses in the neighbourhood.

In Essen, several paintings have been made. We quote from the declaration of the “Rote Ruhr Crew”: “That is why we put up paintings in the proletarian neighbourhood Essen-Huttrop, wich call for solidarity with the People's War in India (Support People's War in India).
The necessity of the Recognitiion of political prisoners and prisoners of wars was expressed in the slogans “Free G.N Saibaba”, “Recognize the Prisoners of war” and “Support the political Prisoners in India”.
To raise awareness for the genocidal policy of the Indian, reactionary government, this was followed by the slogan “Stop Operation Green Hunt”, which is against the campaign of terror against the deepest and broadest masses of the Indian people since 2009.
We especially thank the masses organised by us which took part in the actions.”
Apart from this, the comrades published a declaration, in which they mention current actions of the comrades in India and express a true class standpoint regarding proletarian internationalism.





In Hamburg for the nationwide day of action in solidarity of the People's War in India, a manifestation in front of the Indian consulate in Hamburg took place, where several revolutionary groups took part.Despite the petty bourgeois character of the area around the consulate, some leaflets were spread and a few passe[passanten] were interested and listened to the speeches held through a megaphone.

In Hanover two wall newspapers were put up with the slogans “Support the political prisoners in India” and “Support the People's War in India”. On the day of action some hundred leaflets were spread in proletarian neighbourhoods.

In Weimar a big painting with the Slogan “Smash Operation Green Hunt” was done, which also calls for support of the People's War in India.

The activist of the Pastoral Land Commission (CPT), an organization of the Catholic Church, José Amaro Lopes de Sousa, was arrested by the Civil Police in Anapu, southwest of Pará, on the morning of March 27.

He is being investigated by the Anapu Civil Police for alleged involvement in a series of crimes, criminal association, threat, sexual harassment and extortion. Democratic organizations and entities qualify these as "slanderous accusations."

The comrades in Mexico held an impressive demonstration in Oaxaca on April 11^th. It was mobilised from eight regions in Oaxaca for this demonstration.

At this demonstration, on the 99th day of the murder of Emiliano Zapata, the comrades made the following points:

On April 17th the Pune (Maharashtra) police raided several houses of activists. Many of them are members of the „Kabir Kala Manch“ (KKM), a progressive cultural organization that fights against the caste-system and denounces the terror of the old Indian state. Also they raided the homes of Surendra Gadling (who has been the lawyer of G.N. Saibaba and many other activists) and the secretary of the Committee for Release of Political Prisoners (CRPP), Rona Wilson. The reason for the raids was their alleged involvement in the uprising in December while the 200th anniversary of the battle of Bhima-Koregaon (where the untouchables castes fought) was commemorated. Furthermore, they are accused of being connected to the Maoist movement and for holding "inflammatory speeches“.As Gadlin points out, this was an attempt to repress those who are fighting against the “fascist Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS)”. The RSS is a fascist organization, which is bound to and supported by the government in various ways (e.g. the PM Modi is a member, too).

With an impressive action activists in Austria celebrated the finishing of their current campaign with the slogan “Everything is illusory, except power!” and hoisted a banner in honor of the 200th Birthday of the Great Karl Marx.

Following is an unofficial translation of their declaration that was published at oktober1917.wordpress.com:

100 years October Revolution: Powerful action at the Urban-Loritz-Square

We share this image which was sent to us and is documenting an action in solidarity and in front of the occupied HWP building of the Hamburg University. The building and another building of the main campus has been occupied for 3 days.

We publish an english translation of this call of the Rote Ruhr Crew:

We support the call of the comrades of the Revolutionary Construction - FRG to support the struggle of the political prisoners in India and call to participate and to enfold the day of action to its fullest.

For decades the old Indian state is waging a ceaseless terror campaign against the broad and oppressed masses of India and the progressive and revolutionary forces, that lead them.

The country's bureaucratic bourgeoisie and its henchmen tried to drown every rebellion and revolt against the semi-colonial lackey of imperialism in blood, in order to maintain their order against the revolutionary resistance of the masses.

We transmit an unofficial translation of the Letter of the 2nd Peasant Meeting of South and Southeast of Pará which took place in April 7 and 8 in Marabá municipality. Peasants from all the region, quilombola and indigenous communities, people affected by mining and many organizations like the Poor Peasants League (LCP), People´s Brigades and representatives of the National Front of Struggles in the Countryside and in the City (FNL). Also people from trade unions, professors and progressive intellectuals, people´s lawyers, popular press and student entities took part in the event.
