Revolutionaries, anti-imperialists and masses from different countries gathered in Hamburg on Saturday 04 February 2023 to demonstrate against the recent massacres and bombardments carried out by Israel against the Palestinian people. Speeches were made strongly condemning the recent attacks on Gaza and the military operation in Jenin in which 10 Palestinians were killed. To this end, in the past few days, Israeli forces stormed several sections in different prisons, arbitrarily transferred many prisoners, prevented any kind of visits and locked a large number of prisoners in solitary confinement. On 31 January 2023, the prison authorities stormed Al Damoon prison and attacked mainly female prisoners. These crimes were also highlighted in speeches at the Manifestation. In addition, the criminalisation of the Palestinian movement here in Germany was also discussed, as the Berlin state government wants to ban all gatherings on Nakba Day for the umpteenth time. Different internationalist and anti-imperialist organisations spoke, as well as Arab masses expressing their class hatred against the oppression of the Palestinian people.

In Hamburg, comrades developed solidarity actions with the struggle of the poor peasants against the imperialist mega-projects at the Isthmus of Tehuantepec. Thus, two banners were put up. The first banner was put up at the Hamburg University and the second one at the Sternschanze station, where a manifestation will take place next Wednesday at 6 pm. The pictures we share here were sent to us.

On 26 January, the Israeli army murdered 10 Palestinians and injured 20 others, some seriously, during a military operation in the West Bank town of Jenin. The operation targeted several homes, a refugee camp and a hospital. It was justified as an action against so-called "terrorists", as the national liberation movement and other resisters are called. Members of the national liberation organisations Hamas and Islamic Jihad defended themselves against the massacre, some with firearms. Among the dead, in addition to several young men, was a 61-year-old woman who was literally executed in her own home by a shot to the neck. In addition, a tear gas grenade was fired into a children's ward of a local hospital, injuring several children.

We publish an english translation of the weekly editorial of the newspaper A Nova Democracia from Brasil.

According to a CNN journalist, with information leaked from behind the scenes, the Army High Command discussed during meetings in November whether or not to take the initiative for a “military intervention” before Luiz Inácio’s inauguration. According to the press monopoly, by a majority, the reactionary generals concluded that it was not the moment to carry out a coup. The information also says that one of the main articulators of the coup propaganda was Walter Braga Netto, a four-star general from the reserve and candidate for vice-president on the ticket of Bolsonaro the Weak. Obviously, the general denied it, but he was not convincing.

Dear Comrades, Friends and Well-wishers of Indian Revolution, Red Salutes. 

2023 January 11th will be remembered for ever in the history of Indian Revolution. In the Indian Revolutionary history there were no helicopter gun firings previously on our people and revolutionaries in the Chhattisgad State, Bastar forest. Even though our PLGA guerillas ferociously resisted it and injured 5 Garuda Commandos and one technical staff member of Indian Air Force. This is a big achievement in the New Year. On the same day, another side in Jharkhand State, Saaranda Jungle the CoBRA forces of Indian para-military forces were started a huge combing operations campaign. There our PLGA guerillas heroically retaliated it and injured 6 commandos seriously. In this brave retaliation we lost one of our beloved women guerilla comrades Gangi. Let us pay our rich revolutionary tributes to that martyr. Our CC, Communist Party of India (Maoist) is appealing you to condemn this brutal attacks on the indigenous people of Bastar and Saaranda and organize protest rallies before the Indian embassies on the so called Indian Republic Day i.e. January 26 across the world.
