La Liga de Campesinos Pobres (LCP) ha convocado un acto público para
el 6 de julio a las 9 de la mañama en el Área Revolucionaria José
Ricardo. El acto será una potente demostración de solidaridad con los
campesinos del Área Revolucionaria Gedeon José Duque, que en los últimos
meses han sido objeto de varios ataques de pistoleros y policías al
servicio de los terratenientes y afiliados al movimiento paramilitar «Invasão Zero«.
En abril, el área recibió una misión de solidaridad de abogados,
médicos, estudiantes y activistas. Los miembros de la misión pudieron
evaluar cómo los pistoleros dañaron casas y cultivos, atacaron a
campesinos e incluso hirieron a animales domésticos y de cría.
La Asociación 25 de Marzo y el Sindicato 25 de Marzo han
anunciado en sus redes sociales que la Campaña estatal contra la
Operación Kagaar y el genocidio al pueblo adivasi organizará una charla
en Badajoz (Extremadura).
Desde la Asociación 25 de Marzo y el Sindicato 25 De MARZO queremos
invitaros a escuchar a los compañeros y compañeras que vienen a
visitarnos dentro de la campaña estatal en defensa de la población
campesina adivasi en India por la represión y el expolio que están
sufriendo. Todo ello con un objetivo: entregar los recursos minerales de
la zona a las grandes corporaciones extranjeras e indias. Este
es el caso del pueblo adivasi, mayoritariamente formado por campesinos
indígenas que viven principalmente entre los estados de Chhattisgarh y
Telangana, donde se concentra una gran riqueza mineral. Con el objetivo
de saquear estos ricos recursos mineros, y en el proceso, expulsar a los
campesinos adivasis de sus tierras ancestrales, el Estado indio lleva
años desplegando su poderío policial, paramilitar y militar,
construyendo decenas de campamentos y desplegando decenas de miles de
tropas. Expolio, saqueo, extractivismo y represión. Más que interesante
jornada con muchos paralelismos con nuestra tierra. ¡Os esperamos!
Sábado 12 julio. 11:00 horas. CentroSocial25demarzo (C/Primitivo Leal, 2. Badajoz.
Father
Stan Swamy was arrested in the Bhima Koregaon-Elgar Parishad case, a
conspiracy fabricated by the state. Despite being seriously ill, he was
deliberately denied timely medical treatment by the jail administration
and the government. As a result, on July 5, 2021, Father Stan Swamy
passed away. This was an institutional murder. It has now been four
years since his martyrdom. Even today, this day evokes deep anguish in
our hearts. It also exposes the violent nature of power and the fear
that lurks behind it.
While
remembering him today, we must reflect again and ask: Why was the state
so afraid of an 84-year-old man that it raided his residence ‘Bagaicha’
in Ranchi (Jharkhand) twice? Why was he framed in a false case? Why was
he arrested and imprisoned, kept in such a condition that his mental
and physical health deteriorated rapidly? Why was he denied timely
medical care? Why was a situation created where his body ultimately gave
up?
The
state was terrified because Father Stan was fearless. He was courageous
and unwavering in his voice against injustice. He was involved in the
struggles of Adivasis for their rights over natural resources. He
organized mass movements against displacement caused by dams, mines, and
large industrial projects. He wrote about these issues and stood firmly
with the people. He worked closely with the Pathalgadi movement
to establish the right to village self-governance. He exposed the truth
behind the mass arrests of struggling Adivasis, Dalits, workers, and
youth falsely labeled as Maoists and thrown into jails. He fought legal
battles through PILs against these arrests.
He
brought attention to the plight of migrant workers and the damage
inflicted on communities by the exploitative capitalist market. His
writings and actions exposed these injustices clearly. He became a
companion to the people, in their lives, struggles, joys, and sorrows.
His arrest was a manifestation of the state’s deep-seated fear. Power
always resorts to such reactionary strategies to crush voices of
resistance and revolutionary movements and today, this Brahmanical state
has reached a new height in its repression of the people.
The
government is severely violating the constitutional rights of Adivasis.
Lakhs of hectares of dense forest are being destroyed for the profits
of capitalists. Roads and railways are being constructed not for
Adivasis, but to facilitate mineral extraction from the mines. Even more
land and forest are being seized for police camps under the guise of
mine security. These genocidal policies are being implemented in the
name of “development.” Those who resist, who fight to save their jal-jungle-zameen (water,
forest, land) and resources, are branded as “anti-development,”
“anti-national,” and “terrorist” and are brutally suppressed.
There
is a pressing need to unite and wage militant struggles against this
devastating “development” agenda. In this era of Brahmanical fascist
rule, entrenched in ties with finance capital, attacks on women,
Adivasis, Dalits, minorities, various nationalities, workers, and
farmers are intensifying. Incidents of caste-based violence against
Dalits are increasing. Under the government’s protection, communal
tensions are being fomented, leading to attacks on minorities. This
regime promotes feudal patriarchy and openly justifies the culture of
violence against women.
To
serve the interests of American imperialist trade policies, the
government is pushing farmers and small traders to the margins.
Exploitative farm laws, import-export decisions driven by imperialist
interests, and free rein to multinational corporations in every sector
are all part of this agenda.
To
enforce its policies, the government is adopting authoritarian tactics.
Dissenting views, resistance, and struggles that challenge
Brahmanical-capitalist fascism socio-economically and politically are
being criminalized under the pretext of law and national security.
Surveillance, raids, confiscations, arrests, and killings are on the
rise. The state is trying to silence dissenting voices by imprisoning
them.
The arrests of Moolnivasi Bachao Manch activists,
those linked to the anti-CAA-NRC movement under the pretext of the
Delhi riots, the arrests in the Bhima Koregaon-Elgar Parishad case, and
the targeting of Muslim organizations and traders by branding them as
terrorists are all parts of this fascist strategy. The large number of
Adivasi, Dalit, minority, and working-class prisoners across India
reflects this policy. And in prison, they face even worse treatment:
humiliation, brutal behavior, and torture.
Political
prisoners are deliberately neglected by the state and prison
authorities. Their rights are denied, additional restrictions are
imposed, bail is obstructed, and medical treatment is delayed. This is
all part of systematic repression. The institutional murder of Father
Stan Swamy, deaths in prisons across the country, and the recent death
of Saqib Nachan during treatment in Tihar Jail all expose the face of
state repression.
But history shows us that repression does not last, and the struggle never stops.
In
recent years, the farmers’ movement, the nationwide protests against
CAA-NRC, the Maruti workers’ agitation, the Elgar Parishad gathering,
the Bhima Koregaon movement, the Pathalgadi struggle, the Lodhgata (Gadchiroli)
resistance, as well as militant movements of women, workers, farmers,
Dalits, and Adivasis from across the country, have all kept the flame of
resistance alive and are striving to build a strong, united front
against fascism.
In
such times, even after martyrdom, Father Stan stands with us. As a
companion, a guide. For us, for the people of Jharkhand, and for all
struggling masses. He lives with us as a torchbearer of justice and
liberation. He was fearless, determined, and courageous. But also
compassionate, gentle, and wise.
Today,
on his martyrdom day, we remember his spirited life and unwavering
bravery. We salute his companionship with the oppressed and struggling
people. Father Stan will live forever in our hearts, memories, and
struggles.
On
the martyrdom day of Father Stan Swamy, we are holding a one-day hunger
strike on July 5, 2025, in protest against the institutional murder
committed by the state in the Bhima Koregaon-Elgar Parishad case, and to
honor his legacy. We call upon all struggling people, people’s
movements, progressive groups, political parties, and individuals to
organize programs, meetings, rallies, sit-ins, strikes, or Satyagraha on
July 5 to commemorate Father Stan’s martyrdom and to intensify ongoing
struggles.
