DEM VOLKE DIENEN

For weeks now, the protests and struggles of the people of Sri Lanka against the hawkish and corrupt government have continued. Last Saturday, 9 July, they reached their climax. In gigantic battles in the capital Colombo, the popular masses overran the helpless military, stormed the government palace and drove President Gotabaya Rajapaksa to flight. Both he and the prime minister declared their resignations the same day - so the government is in Sri Lanka through the people's magnificent efforts.

On July 9, on the occasion of the Day of Action for the People's War in India, a rally was held in front of the Indian Consulate General in Frankfurt. "Rebellion Ruhr" had called for this rally and some other internationalist forces had also mobilized for this occasion.

We document a report sent to us.

In the course of the international day of action in support of the People's War in India on 9^th of July 2022, an action was also carried out in Hamburg. The League against Imperialist Aggression called for a rally in front of the Indian Consulate General

On July 9, 2022, a loud rally was held by the Red Collective Bremen in Bremen's working-class neighborhood of Gröpelingen as part of the International Day of Action for the People's War in India. The genocidal Modi regime and the old Indian state were denounced. The red greeting of the Indian comrades "Lal Salaam" resounded loudly through the streets of the quarter! The achievements of the People's War in India were highlighted, where the masses led by the Communist Party of India (Maoist) have formed revolutionary People's Committees, where land has been distributed to the peasants, all reactionary laws have been abolished, and the oppression of women is being bitterly fought. The war against the people, the counter-revolutionary war operations "Green Hunt", "SAMADHAN" and "Prahaar", as well as the drone attacks in Chhattisgarh on April 15 this year were condemned.

Attention was also drawn to the situation of political prisoners, including carrying signs depicting the prisoners Varvara Rao and Professor G.N. Saibaba. Slogans such as "Freedom for all political prisoners", "Up the international solidarity", "Long live the people's war in India" and "Down with imperialism" were shouted, along with hundreds of leaflets distributed and newspapers sold. The slogans "Naxalbari Jindaabaad" and "Inkalaab Jindaabaad" were also shouted in Hindi. The crowds welcomed the action, and many showed solidarity by honking their horns or raising their fists. The rally was a powerful and vibrant expression of proletarian internationalism.

We re-publish an international call for a day of action in support of the people's war in India, that was published on ci-ic.org:

Cuts in health care in Essen continue to increase. At the end of June, the obstetrics and gynecology department at the Alfred Krupp Hospital closed after 110 years. Before that, the department had already had to close for several weeks in April, naturally without consulting employees or expectant mothers who had birth appointments for that period. Justified by the lack of midwives for obstetrics and oncological doctors for the treatment of women with tumor diseases. Here, too, the economic interest of the hospital, which puts efficiency before well-being, becomes more than clear.

In the following we want to share pictures that were sent to us. Posters for the rally on 09.07. in Frankfurt in front of the Indian Consulate General. In Wuppertal, a mural with the slogan "Solidarity with the political prisoners in India!" was carried out
