The Maoist Parties and Organizations, which sign this declaration for the XXXV Anniversary of the Day of Heroism, established as the International Day of Revolutionary Political and War Prisoners, salute the undefeated ideology of the international proletariat, Marxism-Leninism-Maoism, mainly Maoism; under whose undefeated banners we are advancing in the realization of the reunification of the International Communist Movement, in hard and prolonged struggle, concretizing the reconstitution of the communist parties to initiate and develop the people's war in the different countries, marching towards the International Unified Maoist Conference already the New International Organization of the Proletariat.

 

On June 19, communists and revolutionaries around the world celebrate this date, commemorating the rebellion 35 years ago by the prisoners of war of the Communist Party of Peru. Those who rebelled in defense of the revolution and their lives against the plans of the reaction to annihilate them and deliver an accurate blow to the people's war. The monstrous and infamous genocide by government mandate of the fascist García Pérez crashed against the unbending, fierce resistance of the comrades, combatants and children of the masses who wielded ideology, courage and heroism boldly displayed in fiery war defiance shape the monumental trilogy of the luminous battle trenches of the Frontón, Lurigancho and Callao, a historical landmark that will proclaim more and more the greatness of the Day of Heroicity. Conquering a great victory, political, military and moral for the Communist Party of Peru, for the class, for the Peruvian people and the peoples of the world. Historical milestone that we celebrate around the world. Thus the heroes continue to win battles and serve the revolution. The proletariat and the peoples of the world always keep them deserved great respect and obligation: to continue the task in which they were engaged.

 

On this solemn occasion, we salute the current people's wars, which continue their invincible march through thick and thin, like the people's wars in Peru, India, Turkey and the Philippines. People's wars that show the way to follow those to be born, serving the world revolution and persisting in raising, defending and applying Marxism-Leninism-Maoism, mainly Maoism; People's wars, which are the shining beacon for the current armed liberation struggles and others waged by the international proletariat and the peoples of the world to wipe imperialism and reaction from the face of the Earth.

 

This occasion is propitious to denounce that, in the face of the unyielding, fierce resistance of Chairman Gonzalo, in defense of the Headquarters of the Party and the revolution, the current fascist, genocidal and country-selling government of the old Peruvian State, headed by Sagasti, like his predecessors - counting on the service of the rats of the opportunist line of revisionist and capitulationist right (LOD), under the leadership of the Yankee CIA -, continues to apply the plan to annihilate Chairman Gonzalo, maintaining its absolute and perpetual isolation for now close to 29 years. The authorities of the old State, from the Executive to its judicial and prison system act with blind hatred and perverse homicidal fury against the most important revolutionary political prisoner in the world, keeping him in isolation, with contact only with their jailers at various levels and information from the outside world previously distorted and manipulated by the Yankee CIA, Peruvian reaction and ROL rats. Defend Chairman Gonzalo and Gonzalo Thought, Head of the Communist Party of Peru and the Peruvian Revolution!

 

In Turkey, prisons are the place where the ruling classes show their true face. Prisons in Turkey are run by the ruling classes within the framework of that logic and the practices are directly proportional to the very nature of the regime. The history of Turkish prisons is full of massacres of fascism against communists and revolutionaries and in front of them is indelibly written the unshakeable will of resistance and anti-capitation of communists and revolutionaries. As a consequence of the attack by the State, hundreds of revolutionary prisoners have been killed by torture or executions. Above all during the time of the Military Junta, when the prisons became torture centers and, that situation, it has not really changed in the times of fascism with a parliamentary mask. Hundreds of imprisoned communists and revolutionaries currently live for years in conditions of cellular isolation and acute isolation and their fundamental rights are permanently under attack. If someone were to look only at the prisons of Turkey, they would see the true nature of the ruling regime reflected in all its nakedness. At the same time, the behavior and the joint hostility of the bourgeoisie of the whole world is concretized there. The attack on December 19, 2000, the most recent massacre in Turkish prisons, is a concrete example of this. This massacre was planned as a joint NATO operation and the preparation of the operation was conducted with the contributions of a Spanish general. The main basis for this joint operation can be seen in the public statement of the Turkish Prime Minister, who pointed out that communists and revolutionaries could be held in prison, based on their public ties and their direct contribution to the class struggle, such as the direct obstacle to the policy followed by the IMF. The joint operation of the German state in cooperation with Greece, France and Switzerland against the TKP / ML, in 2015, was also in the concept of the common hostility of the bourgeoisie against communists and revolutionaries. While the arrests and imprisonments are a quest by the ruling classes to conjure the vanguard of the class struggle, they also serve as a threat to the masses. who pointed out that communists and revolutionaries could be kept in prison, based on their public ties and their direct contribution to the class struggle, as the direct obstacle to the policy followed by the IMF. The joint operation of the German state in cooperation with Greece, France and Switzerland against the TKP / ML, in 2015, was also in the concept of the common hostility of the bourgeoisie against communists and revolutionaries. While the arrests and imprisonments are a quest by the ruling classes to conjure the vanguard of the class struggle, they also serve as a threat to the masses. who pointed out that communists and revolutionaries could be kept in prison, based on their public ties and their direct contribution to the class struggle, as the direct obstacle to the policy followed by the IMF. The joint operation of the German state in cooperation with Greece, France and Switzerland against the TKP / ML, in 2015, was also in the concept of the common hostility of the bourgeoisie against communists and revolutionaries. While the arrests and imprisonments are a quest by the ruling classes to conjure the vanguard of the class struggle, they also serve as a threat to the masses. France and Switzerland against the TKP / ML, 2015, was also in the concept of the common hostility of the bourgeoisie against communists and revolutionaries. While the arrests and imprisonments are a quest by the ruling classes to conjure the vanguard of the class struggle, they also serve as a threat to the masses. France and Switzerland against the TKP / ML, 2015, was also in the concept of the common hostility of the bourgeoisie against communists and revolutionaries. While the arrests and imprisonments are a quest by the ruling classes to conjure the vanguard of the class struggle, they also serve as a threat to the masses.

 

In  India,  more than  10,000  suspected  Maoists are  in  prison,[1]  to them we must add many thousands of prisoners of national liberation movements  (Kaschmir, Manipur, etc.)  and other democratic movements ,  including personalities recognized like  Varavara Rao, GN Saibaba,  also who has meanwhile been released,  Ajith  and  Hany Babu Musaliyarveettil Tharayil. With  70% of  prisoners without conviction, India has the highest quota in the world in terms of prisoners without conviction. Prisoners remain behind bars for long years and even dozens of years,  without the old state of India pronouncing a firm condemnation against them "Operation Green Hunt" ("Operation Green Hunt" ),  war against the people, is not only a campaign of annihilation ,  with "fake encounters"  "Fake Encounter" ) but they especially terrorize the peasant’s poor, but it also crowds the prisons. Against this there are great international movements that have also forced the Amnesty International  move. But the political prisoners who, based on great solidarity, are released on bail after some time ,  shortly after are taken prisoner again. For this it makes use of the old State of the “Law of Prevention of Illegal Activities” (“Unlawful Activities Preventions Act“ - UAPA .

 

According to information from the Communist Party of the Philippines (PCF) until the end of 2020, there are more than 650 political prisoners incarcerated in the Philippines. The majority of political detainees during the Duterte regime, that is, more than 200 prisoners, are peasants who have been accused of being members of the New People's Army. These peasants include Amanda Echanis, who was arrested with her month-old son Randall Emmanuel. Furthermore, the Duterte regime is famous for its extrajudicial executions, claiming to be “drug traffickers”. Its "war on drugs" is well known and is always directed against the broad and deep masses.

 

The people of Palestine for more than 70 years have been giving hard and heroic resistance with great sacrifice against the Zionist policy of genocide. The Total Number of Palestinian Political Prisoners detained by Israel is around 4,400. Among them 430 administrative detainees, men and women without charge or evidence. There are 160 Children imprisoned by the Zionist State of Israel. And more than 30 prisoners are incarcerated for more than 25 years. In the course of the recent attacks by the Zionist armed forces against the Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip, some 1,400 Palestinians were arrested and put up tireless resistance.

 

But it is not  only the Zionist state  who reprim and blood and fire the just struggle of the Palestinian people, but also the imperialist states like  France  that holds prisoner  and orges Ibrahim Abdallah for more than 36  years, and denied the rights  most basic recognized even by the laws of the French State and international treaties on the treatment of prisoners, etc. But, it is also necessary to say clearly, that the repression against the revolutionary prisoners in the European countries is not very different from that of the countries mentioned. Well-known case is the repression of English imperialism against Irish republican prisoners, cases paradigmatics are Bobby Sands, Patsy O'Hara and Francis Hughes.

 

The struggles of the peasantry for land in Brazil are repressed with all violence by the landlord-bureaucratic state, as a consequence of the repression of the military government actually headed by the fascist Bolsonaro, many peasant leaders and activists of the League of Poor Peasants (LCP), of which comrades Ezequiel, Luis Carlos, Estefane and Ricardo remain in prison.

 

In Colombia as a result of the fierce repression of the popular uprising by the government of Iván Duque, which has the backing of the Yankee imperialist government of Biden,[2] in addition to having perpetrated atrocious massacres against the population with dozens of deaths and hundreds of wounded, many of them who have lost one of their eyes due to the violence of the police, military and armed civilian repression (auxiliary forces), have arrested and imprisoned thousands of participants in the demonstrations. At least 70 children of the Colombian people have been killed by the police or by armed civilians, around 800 injured, eye injuries, 21 registered cases of sexual violence against women of the people and the militarization of some cities in the country.

 

The aforementioned cases are only a sample of the need to fight for the defense of social, political and war prisoners. The fight for freedom, health, life and rights of revolutionary prisoners throughout the world is a task that falls to us to develop as part of the struggle for demands together with the struggle for Power, the struggle for that is of utmost importance. their status as political prisoners and prisoners of war be recognized. Because our imprisoned comrades transform the filthy dungeons of reaction into luminous combat trenches of the people's war.

 

The People's War shows the proletariat and the peoples of the world the only true revolutionary solution to the current world crisis, to the broad and deep mass that are mobilizing, displaying great activity and an explosiveness accumulated by decades of increased exploitation of the world by the imperialism and its genocide from the pandemic; It is already exploding and they will become bigger and more powerful, as the reactionary genocidal president of Colombia, Iván Duque, has said: “The post-pandemic outbreak is going to reach the whole world. Today it was our turn, but we are going to see it in other places in the coming years ”. The words of the reaction are acknowledgment of the part that does not need proof of their fears, their worries, the dark perspective they envision,

 

The explosions of the masses are like the heralds of the new era of revolutions that has opened. Because it is the masses that have made, are doing and will make the great transformations, they are from those glorious hands that the new will always come out to guide humanity. Because with their armed hands they conquer and defend the new Power, Power, the central task of the revolution. The masses cry out, they demand of us communists that we lead them along the path of the people's war to carry out the democratic revolution, the socialist revolution and in the future cultural revolutions, to confront the imperialist wars of aggression, to confront the imperialist war, to confront the imperialist world war, if it were to occur, confronting and crushing revisionism as the main danger.

 

The world reaction is aware of the danger that threatens it, sees how grave it implies for them that the masses have set in motion with such explosiveness and that it is the glorious proletariat led by its Communist Party that is marching to meet this spontaneous movement. of the masses to lead them by their only great demand for Power and it is doing so by uprooting opportunism, making revisionism shatter.

 

Imperialism and world reaction sink amid greater collusion and struggle, and in the midst of their agony they give bloody slaps and with the help of revisionists and opportunists of all colors they seek to conjure up the revolution through their reactionary exit, sowing electoral and constitutional illusions. as in Peru where they participate in the reactionary elections at the tail of the bureaucratic faction of the big bourgeoisie, as in other places to go on to repress the revolution, practicing the trilogy of capitulation: capitulation, amnesty and enlistment.

 

The elections are a means of domination of  the bourgeoisie in the imperialist countries and, in the oppressed nations, they are a means of domination of the  landlords and big bourgeoisie; are not for the  instrument transform people and means to overthrow the power of l s  classes  dominant, hence the  correct orientation of s use or the purposes of agitation and propaganda. Faced with the crisis and the development of the objective and subjective conditions for the revolution, depending  on  the concrete situation, the reaction resorts to the so-called "social aid packages" to try to lull the masses to sleep, to apply their anti-crisis packages with anesthesia; in other cases, to divert them from the revolutionary path draws boost reactionary governments led by opportunism and the use of the reaccionari horror or  or other uses fascism. All this the reaction applies in the midst of acute reactionary struggles, because the crisis and the revolution also spur their struggles.

 

The fact that the reaction uses opportunism and revisionism in its desperate reactionary way out of the crisis and to postpone the revolution, is one more political proof of the maturity of the objective and subjective conditions for the revolution throughout the world. This proves that the revolution is the main historical and political trend in the world today, that it is expressed mainly in the oppressed nations, where the main contradiction of the oppressed nations-imperialism develops; the oppressed nations that are the basis of the world revolution, the majority of the world population lives there, of which the vast majority is made up of the peasantry fighting for land, the main force of the democratic revolution led by the proletariat to through his party, which carries it forward through the people's war.

 

Also expressly in the case of Peru, where the reaction has re-established the old Power, has reestablished the old relations of production, that is, semi-feudality and in the countries where it acts with the development of bureaucratic capitalism, the semi-feudal base evolves, it does not destroy it. . The new revisionism denies the developing revolutionary situation at the international level. In other words, it denies the revolution as the main trend, it denies the new great wave of the world revolution, it denies the strategic offensive of the world revolution, it denies the main contradiction, it denies the democratic revolution, it denies the problem of land in the oppressed countries and for so much denies the world proletarian revolution. They are counterrevolutionary renegades. It has reestablished the old relations of production, that is, semi-feudality, and in the countries where it operates with the development of bureaucratic capitalism, the semi-feudal base evolves, it does not destroy it. The new revisionism denies the developing revolutionary situation at the international level. In other words, it denies the revolution as the main trend, it denies the new great wave of the world revolution, it denies the strategic offensive of the world revolution, it denies the main contradiction, it denies the democratic revolution, it denies the problem of land in the oppressed countries and for so much denies the world proletarian revolution. They are counterrevolutionary renegades. It has reestablished the old relations of production, that is, semi-feudality, and in the countries where it operates with the development of bureaucratic capitalism, the semi-feudal base evolves, it does not destroy it. The new revisionism denies the developing revolutionary situation at the international level. In other words, it denies the revolution as the main trend, it denies the new great wave of the world revolution, it denies the strategic offensive of the world revolution, it denies the main contradiction, it denies the democratic revolution, it denies the problem of land in the oppressed countries and for so much denies the world proletarian revolution. They are counterrevolutionary renegades. The new revisionism denies the developing revolutionary situation at the international level. In other words, it denies the revolution as the main trend, it denies the new great wave of the world revolution, it denies the strategic offensive of the world revolution, it denies the main contradiction, it denies the democratic revolution, it denies the problem of land in the oppressed countries and for so much denies the world proletarian revolution. They are counterrevolutionary renegades. The new revisionism denies the developing revolutionary situation at the international level. In other words, it denies the revolution as the main trend, it denies the new great wave of the world revolution, it denies the strategic offensive of the world revolution, it denies the main contradiction, it denies the democratic revolution, it denies the problem of land in the oppressed countries and for so much denies the world proletarian revolution. They are counterrevolutionary renegades. it denies the problem of land in the oppressed countries and therefore denies the world proletarian revolution. They are counterrevolutionary renegades. it denies the problem of land in the oppressed countries and therefore denies the world proletarian revolution. They are counterrevolutionary renegades.

 

We reaffirm l or  established in our joint statement by the  First of  May 2021:  The prevailing social order, the imperialist world system,  the, Yankee imperialism, the common enemy of the peoples around the world, is outdated and it is rotten to the marrow, it is supported by the bloody bayonets of mercenary armies that will be powerless before us. Anyone who takes a look at the world today will see that we are facing a situation where the world proletarian revolution is the only way out, the only way for humanity and that the development of objective and subjective conditions in the world are favorable for revolution.

 

The world is in chaos. Imperialism is a dying system. The peoples of the world rebel against the death and misery caused by imperialism. All over the world  especially in Latin America (currently the weakest link in the imperialist chain), Africa and Asia - the people are massacred, tortured, disappeared and imprisoned because they have chosen to fight.

 

Finally, it is up to us to raise the commitment, we collect  those lives, that example, that blood  of our heroes of the Shining Combat Trenches who on June 19, 1986 offered their lives in defense of the revolution and their lives  and we enter them into our Our own flesh, that ignites our own mind and tenses our will more and more, so that that path opened with  immense sacrifice  that will be the amazement of the centuries, be the path that we continue until we fulfill that task in which they insisted. The best tribute that we can pay them and we are giving up today is to persist on that path, on that course and we will not stop, as Communist Parties, as a class and as immense masses of the people of the world, and we will not stop until communism. May this be the serious commitment that we assume today, once again, in homage to the heroes of the people.

 

Long live the XXXV Anniversary of the Day of Heroicity!

 

Honor and eternal glory to the fallen heroes! 

Long live the revolution!

 

Unite under Maoism! Down with revisionism!
