December 12th: International Day of the Persecuted Worker

A few days before another anniversary of the brutal sentence on the oil-workers of Las Heras, we are sending you a video produced by the Commission of Convicted Workers, Family and Friends of Las Heras, where it is clearly shown how the imperialist oil companies, the bosses' justice and the Kirchner government, set up a court of revenge that sentenced the workers of Las Heras who fought against the precariousness of labor and the wage tax to prison and life imprisonment.  

There you can also see, to a great extent, part of what the condemned, their families and friends, experienced in their own flesh. Under these conditions, we arrived at that court on December 12th, 2013 with the weight of the early sentence on our shoulders, but we were not alone, we were surrounded by a lot of international and national solidarity, since then the International Day of the Persecuted Worker was set up.

We hope in this new anniversary, to fight again together, not only for our acquittal but for the freedom of all political prisoners in the world and justice to our martyrs. Therefore we ask you to send us videos, letters, messages of salutations and endorsements for this December 12th to keep on striking as a single fist.

7 years after the brutal sentence… Let’s keep on fighting together shoulder to shoulder!
