We report Actions, which were executed in several cities in six states of FRG in response of the call for a nationwide day of action on April 23th, the 49th founding day of the Communist Party of India (marxist-leninist), that were sent to us. We especially want to point out the actions of our comrades in France and Austria, that participated at this day of action.
Two paintings were put up in Marseille:
“Freedom for Comrade Ajith”
“Long live the People's War in India”
The comrades in Austria executed a massive campaign in five states, among others an action in front of the Indian embassy in Vienna, as well as information events held and propaganda spread. An extensive report can be found here.
We also want to mention the publication of a document of the founder and chairman of the CPI(ML), which can be found on newepoch.media.
On another website, the document "Why Must We Form the Party Now?" of Charu Mazumdar from the founding year of the Party, from which the current CPI (maoist) stems, has been translated to German and published.
Other actions in the FRG have been a manifestation in front of the Indian embassy in Berlin, where several revolutionary groups took part. With speeches, amongst others about the situation of the political and prisoners of war and especially the role of women in the People's War in India, the situation of the people of India was reported. This was underlined with combative slogans like “Death to imperialism – People's War till communism”, “Long live the international solidarity” and “Solidarity means resistance - fight fascism everywhere”.
Two graffiti, supporting the People's War and the CPI (maoist), were placed beforehand in different parts of Berlin.
In Bremen an unauthorised demonstration has been done in the peoples neighbourhood of Blockdieck. The demonstration, with shouting slogans like “Long live international Solidarity”, “Solidarity means resistance - fight fascism everywhere”, “The true face of their democracy – mass murderers is what they are”, “Freedom for all political prisoners”, “Laal Salam”, “Solidarity means resistance - fight fascism everywhere” and “I was, I am and I will be – the revolution will liberate humankind” was greeted combatively and supported by the masses in the neighbourhood.
In Essen, several paintings have been made. We quote from the declaration of the “Rote Ruhr Crew”: “That is why we put up paintings in the proletarian neighbourhood Essen-Huttrop, wich call for solidarity with the People's War in India (Support People's War in India).
The necessity of the Recognitiion of political prisoners and prisoners of wars was expressed in the slogans “Free G.N Saibaba”, “Recognize the Prisoners of war” and “Support the political Prisoners in India”.
To raise awareness for the genocidal policy of the Indian, reactionary government, this was followed by the slogan “Stop Operation Green Hunt”, which is against the campaign of terror against the deepest and broadest masses of the Indian people since 2009.
We especially thank the masses organised by us which took part in the actions.”
Apart from this, the comrades published a declaration, in which they mention current actions of the comrades in India and express a true class standpoint regarding proletarian internationalism.
In Hamburg for the nationwide day of action in solidarity of the People's War in India, a manifestation in front of the Indian consulate in Hamburg took place, where several revolutionary groups took part.Despite the petty bourgeois character of the area around the consulate, some leaflets were spread and a few passe[passanten] were interested and listened to the speeches held through a megaphone.
In Hanover two wall newspapers were put up with the slogans “Support the political prisoners in India” and “Support the People's War in India”. On the day of action some hundred leaflets were spread in proletarian neighbourhoods.
In Weimar a big painting with the Slogan “Smash Operation Green Hunt” was done, which also calls for support of the People's War in India.

We publish an english translation of this call of the Rote Ruhr Crew:
We support the call of the comrades of the Revolutionary Construction - FRG to support the struggle of the political prisoners in India and call to participate and to enfold the day of action to its fullest.
For decades the old Indian state is waging a ceaseless terror campaign against the broad and oppressed masses of India and the progressive and revolutionary forces, that lead them.
The country's bureaucratic bourgeoisie and its henchmen tried to drown every rebellion and revolt against the semi-colonial lackey of imperialism in blood, in order to maintain their order against the revolutionary resistance of the masses.

We publish this translation of a report that was sent to us:
[...]
I am a student at the University of Hamburg. Several fellow students told me about an action that happened Wednesday in a lecture on history and culture of the middle east. The lecture is led by professor Ludwig Paul, who more then once left a sour taste in the mouth of some fellow students.
During the lecture, two hooded people bust into the room and called slogans like „Long live international solidarity“, throwing leaflets in the lecture room. I attach a copy of this leaflet.
After this, the comrades called for a meeting in the social centre B5, while discussions started in the lecture hall.

Since many weeks the antifascists of Marseille, with the comrades of the Front Révolutionnaire Antifasciste de Provence at its forefront, fight against the opening of the fascist local “Bastion Social” in their city. Already its renovation period was disrupted by a massive amount of attacks on the local itself. On many occasion the windows were trashed, red paint sprayed on its wall and graffitis wrote on its walls.

Hundreds of immigrants and Spanish youths protested violently on the streets of central Madrid, capital of Spain, in repudiation of the death of a 35-year-old Senegalese immigrant, which happened on 15 March. Mmame Mbage, who had been in Spain for 14 years, apparently had a heart attack due to a police chase. Demonstrators held more than four hours of protests that went throught the night of March 16, after which three bank agencies and also police vehicles were destroyed. There were burning barricades of the demonstrators through the streets. Facing the police with sticks and stones, the protest left at least 10 repression agents injured. Even by using rubber bullets the repression was not able to hold the protest and six young Spanish youth were detained.
