The question of rebuilding the Maoist movement in Nepal

Rishi Raj Baral

It is a matter of deep concern  for the revolutionaries of the world to know the current situation of Maoist Movement in Nepal, which has a glorious history in the past. Not only the revolutionaries, but also the reactionary forces are watching it cautiously.

Hereby we publish a declaration from Maoists from Finland in Solidarity with the TKP/ML, denouncing the reactionary persecution of communists:

Proletarians of all countries, unite!

LONG LIVE THE TKP/ML! DOWN WITH THE PERSECUTIONS OF COMMUNISTS!

Today on the 28th of July 2020, sentences have been given in the Federal Republic of Germany in the so-called “TKP/ML trial”. In this trial, which took over four years, ten comrades were sentenced for such offenses as “leading a foreign terrorist organization” and “membership in a foreign terrorist organization”. Each of them was sentenced to prison, from two and nine months up to even six and half years. No actual crimes, in which the accused would have committed, were not presented in the court, only the vague claim about “terrorism”. This so-called “terrorist organization” is the TKP/ML, the vanguard of the international proletariat in Turkey and Northern Kurdistan. The Party, which for decades has waged People’s War for the New Democratic Revolution. The Party, which is the real leader of the broadest and deepest masses in its country. It’s not any “terrorist organization”, but a party in an internal conflict.
