It Is Official Now!
CPI(M-L) Supports Iraqi Resistance

Tuesday, 17th January 2006

We are webcasting the firsthand newzleak regarding resisting India’s official endorsement of resisting Iraq. It is one of the most intrepid political backing extended to Iraqi armed resistance. The Left, Right and Center of Indian politics doesn’t approve the occupation of Iraq while CPI(M-L) is challenging US might to quit or pass away there as a consequence of awesome Iraqi resistance, which the Party fully supports in India and abroad as well.

In-charge of its International Relations Department Brij Bihari Pandey has signed a “Message to Fighting Iraqi People” that reads as follows:

“The Communist Party of India (Marxist-Leninist) sends revolutionary greetings to the people of Iraq resisting the aggression and annexation of their motherland by the US imperialist monsters and their underlings. The Party condemns the trial of President Saddam Hussein of Iraq by a puppet regime’s Kangaroo court and firmly believes that the future of Iraq must be decided only and only by the proud people of Iraq who have a long history of anti-imperialist struggle. While expressing solidarity with the Iraqi people’s resistance against the colonizers, the Party sincerely believes that the Iraqi people will not only turn their country into another Vietnam but turn it into the graveyard of US aggressors. We appeal to the people of India as well as the world people to stand by the fighting people of Iraq, rise to put pressure for immediate withdrawal of all foreign forces of any kind from Iraq and installation of independent, nationalist rule by the people there.”

Duly signed message was swiftly sent to 1857republic.in for immediate webcasting to Iraqi people and we did it. Such immense initiative of this very genuine Communist party can appropriately augment the process of forming the widest possible popular front of patriotic forces around the world towards forcing foreign forces to quit Asia at once forever

APPEAL FOR THE PROPER TREATMENT OF MR. TARIQ AZIZ

(Denis Halliday - Hans von Sponeck, former United Nations Humanitarian Coordinators in Iraq (1997-2000)
The BBC has reported that Mr. Tariq Aziz has suffered a stroke and that his lawyer fears “he may not live more than a month” following a “cerebral embolism”. The lawyer, Badie Arif Ezzat, has said that Mr. Tariq Aziz is being held in a two square meter cell that was “only fit to keep dogs in”.
Given his apparent health situation and the fact that he has not been charged after giving himself up in April 2003, this is a request for his re lease from Hans von Sponeck and Denis J. Halliday, former United Nations Humanitarian Coordinators in Iraq (1997-2000).

In keeping with the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the Geneva Conventions and Protocols, Mr. Tariq Aziz, former Foreign Minister and Deputy Prime Minister of Iraq is entitled to humane treatment and should not be further held without charges after three years if incarceration.

At the age of 70 years, in a state of severely diminished health and now what is reported to be a stroke:
we express our distress at the inhumane treatment accorded Mr. Tariq Aziz and ask that he be released immediately by US/Iraqi authorities from custody in the absence of any charges, and be allowed to join his family in a location where adequate medical facilities can be provided.

We also ask that all other Iraqi prisoners being held without charge be released by US/ Iraqi authorities without delay. We likewise ask that all those civilians, journalists, aid workers and other innocents being held in Iraq by those involved in resistance to invasion and occupation also be released immediately.

In addition, we hope, indeed expect, that former and current high ranking officials in Washington and London, as well as Paris, Moscow and Beijing, and elsewhere, who in the recent past have had personal contact and communications with Mr. Tariq Aziz, including the present UN Secretary-General, will join in this request for humane treatment.

Signed: Denis J. Halliday & Hans von Sponeck
