We publish this inofficial english translation of the declaration:

We join the campaign against the condemnation of the 23 activists convicted in Rio de Janeiro (Brazil) involved in the protests against the squandering of the FIFA Cup

During the days before and during the World Cup in Brazil, the people and especially the poor youth demonstrated against the waste of resources and the show that the Dilma/FMI government wanted to show the world.

These protests were massive, combative and just.

The bourgeois press of India lately has missed no possibility of ridiculing itself in regard to the People's War. They claim that the "sightings" of the Maoists are diminishing and thus indicate that the “Left-Wing-Extremism”, as they call the glorious People’s War, is on its last foot. Meanwhile posters of the CPI (Maoist) appear on school walls and demand that the state persecution of the Dalits and other tribals to be stopped immediately. Meanwhile, on the 20th of July a successful Bandh (armed strike) was carried out, which was widely supported by the masses and thus paralyzed a whole district. And meanwhile, the special forces of the old state are regularly crushed by the Maoists. At the same time, they claim that they are arresting and killing Maoists in droves, even during the monsoon season, a time of the year in which Maoists would often “lie low, train new recruits and strategize”. They brag with their treacherous and coward massacres, that they disguise as "encounters" and conceal that Maoists are doing everything but rest, continuing and developing their struggles.

All the promises of the bright future in this imperialist system have dusted away due to the heat of the class struggle of the proletariat and the struggles of the peoples of the world.
