Malaysian police yesterday attacked a peaceful protest against fuel price hikes in Kuala Lumpur. 54 activists were arrested, including leaders of the Malaysian Socialist Party (PSM) chairperson Nasir Hashim and secretary-general S. Arutchelvan. Urgent solidarity action is needed.
Immediately upon hearing of Manzoor Ahmed's arrest the international campaign took off, with pickets, phone calls and letters of protest to the Pakistani embassies. Here we publish a sample selection of activities, to provide a taste of what was done in the campaign. We thank all the comrades for the tremendous response.
A campaign has been launched in Mexico in solidarity with
the People’s Youth Bloc against the repression and slanders it faces at the
hands of the ruling class in El Slavador.
The ruling class of El Salvador is gearing up
for major class battles. Feeling the heat of the Latin American revolution, and
finding itself in a weak position, the state has moved to intrigues to launch a
dirty war against the left of the FMLN.
