ILPS SOLIDARITY MESSAGE TO ASP AND CARC LEADERS
BRUTALLY ATTACKED BY ITALIAN POLICE

By Prof. Jose Maria Sison
Chairperson, International Coordinating Committee
International League of Peoples' Struggle

The International League of Peoples’ Struggle (ILPS) condemns in the strongest terms the attacks on January 27 carried out by the Italian political police in Massa against Marco Lenzoni, member of the National Committee of ASP, and Raffaelo Petri, Secretary of the CARC Party in a Tuscan department, and extends its militant solidarity to the two comrades who were merely exercising their right to tell the truth about the genocidal war being carried out by the Zionists in Gaza and the repression by the Turkish regime against the Kurdish people.

Under Berlusconi, the Italian bourgeois state has turned more and more to employing fascist methods to attack progressive Left personalities and organizations. It is employing all means, from filing of fraudulent legal cases to using brute force to intimidate and suppress its political opponents.

We fully support the ASP and CARC in their denunciation of the hypocrisy of the Italian bourgeois parties and institutions that commemorate Nazi and Fascist extermination camps while keeping silent on the atrocities being committed by the Zionists against the Palestinian people and by the repressive Turkish regime against the Kurdish people.

The examples shown by the two comrades will surely inspire the exploited and oppressed people to courageously stand up for the truth and fight for their rights and interests.

We call on all democratic forces and freedom-loving people of the world to condemn this latest fascist attack on the rights of the Italian people under the reactionary Berlusconi regime and express solidarity to the two comrades and all progressive forces in Italy fighting for the interests of the exploited and the oppressed people.

Militant solidarity to Marco Lenzoni and Raffaelo Petri!
Down with the right-wing Berlusconi regime!
Long live international solidarity
