12/ 12, International Day of Struggle of the Persecuted Worker
In defense of the oil workers of Las Heras, sentenced to life and imprisonment seven years ago!
In defense of the political prisoners, hostages of the bourgeois states and regimes!
Fighting for justice for the martyrs of the world working class!
In the fight for the freedom of all the political prisoners in the world, the International Network for the Liberation of the Political Prisoners of the World and Justice for Our Martyrs calls for a day of combat and justice for all the imprisoned comrades.
We reproduce the a statement of August 2014:
FROM THE TORMENTED AFRICA, WITH THE MINERS OF MARIKANA MASSACRED FOR FIGHTING…
FROM THE JAILS OF ZIONISM IN THE OCCUPIED PALESTINE
FROM THE JAILS OF THE IMPERIALIST COUNTRIES, WHERE THE BASQUE, PALESTINIAN AND BLACK WORKERS LIVE IN JAIL
FROM LAS HERAS, ARGENTINA, WHERE WORKERS ARE CONVICTED TO LIFE FOR FIGHTING…
It is set up an international solidarity network of relatives and political prisoners that are hostages of the transnational companies, imperialism and its regimes
SET UP A GREAT INTERNATIONAL STRUGGLE FOR THE FREEDOM OF ALL THE POLITICAL PRISONERS!
On December 12, 2013, in Argentina, a Videlaist court of the imperialist oil companies sentenced to prison and life imprisonment the workers of Las Heras who fought against labour outsourcing and wage tax.
The Commission of Condemned Workers, Relatives and Friends of Las Heras had understood in their struggle that they were facing a fight that had no borders and voted for December 12 the “International Day of struggle of the worker persecuted by imperialism and governments.” At the same time, from their workers' congressthey called to set up an International Network for the Freedom of all the political prisoners in the world.
That day, the bourgeois court met surrounded by dozens of workers' organizations and flags for the freedom of hostages of imperialism from around the world: Palestine, France, the Spanish State and sectors of the oil workers of Las Heras paralyzed the wells. Therefore, although the comrades were convicted, they could not be arrested.
This call was echoed in different parts of the world, responding to the Basque prisoners, George Abdallah (a Palestinian prisoner in France) and Palestinian prisoners, representatives of the resistance against the Zionist occupier and thousands of fighters from all over Africa, the Middle East and Japan.
The Commission of Condemned Workers, Relatives and Friends of Las Heras (Workers' Congress October 12) arrived in Palestine meeting the parents of Samer, Medhat and Shireen Issawi to embrace and promote a common struggle; When we were promoting this fight by meeting with Dr. Yussef Abdul Haq, he was arrested by Zionism the next day. This call was taken up by the heroic miners of Marikana in southern Africa who are fighting for their wages, against transnational corporations and for justice to their martyrs. They have shown solidarity with their comrades from Las Heras and Corral de Bustos.
Today, when silence once again reverberates in the workers' organizations on the struggle for the acquittal of the convicted of Las Heras, the call to form an International Network for the Liberation of the Political Prisoners of the World has taken on new momentum.
The reader will find here letters, reports, messages and greetings from fellow prisoners, relatives and fighters who are joining forces over the borders to conquer freedom.
Open the road to proletarian internationalism!
