Les autorités péruviennes viennent tout juste d'annoncer qu'Abimael Guzmán a cessé la grève de la faim qu'il avait entamée le 2 mai dernier. Pendant plus de 35 jours, le dirigeant du Parti communiste du Pérou (PCP) aurait refusé d'absorber autre chose que des liquides pour exiger que soit levé un nouveau règlement qui interdit désormais aux détenuEs de la prison à sécurité super maximum d'El Callao d'avoir un contact direct avec leurs visiteurs.

 
Fidèle à sa politique hégémoniste et pro-impérialiste habituelle, le gouvernement indien vient de procéder à l'arrestation de 11 autres leaders et cadres du Parti communiste du Népal (maoïste).

 
Le 19 juin 1986, après une résistance héroïque, plus de 300 prisonnières et prisonniers membres de la guérilla du Parti communiste du Pérou (PCP) étaient assassinéEs lâchement par le régime du "socialiste" Alan Garcia. 18 ans plus tard, la Journée internationale des prisonnières et prisonniers révolutionnaires sera célébrée, au Pérou comme ailleurs.

Ar-Ram, North Jerusalem, Palestine - Tomorrow, Friday, June 11, 2004, the community of Ar-Ram will gather at Ar-Ram intersection at 12h15 and organize the Friday prayer there as a demonstration against the construction of the wall throughout their town. They will be joined in their nonviolent protest by international and Israeli peace activists.

The planned route of the Wall runs through the main road of the town, from Ar-Ram checkpoint to Qalandiya checkpoint cutting off thousands of residents from Jerusalem. Once the Wall is completed, the Israeli military will have total control over the access of Ar-Ram residents to health and school services, turning the whole area into an enclave.

 
Az Zawiya, Salfit, Palestine - Today over 400 villagers of Az Zawiya came out to protest for the third day in a row against the building of the wall which will cut them off from their land and their livelihoods.

Az Zawiya is one of three villages that will be surrounded by the wall, effectually creating an enclave that will include Rafat, Deir Ballut and Az Zawiya.

As the Arauca Peasants Community, we welcome the presence of a national humanitarian commission to interview and take statements from the families and members of the community where the savage massacre of 13 peasants took place on 20 May in Flor Amarillo, Piñalito, Cravo Charo and La Rochela.

We have had to declare a social and humanitarian emergency of the Arauca peasant population and call an agricultural strike to draw attention to the stark reality of what is happening to us and our territory.

2.- Condenamos la negligencia del Gobierno al no dar solución al problema de hacinamiento en el Presidio local, denunciado constantemente por diversas organizaciones protectoras de los Derechos Humanos...

 
An eight-year-old girl stood under the blade of a digger on Monday, as women and children stopped the uprooting of olive trees on Az Zawiya land, in Occupied Palestine, for nearly one hour.

Bulldozers began cutting and uprooting trees on Sunday night and by morning, hundreds of trees had been laid waste. Several hundred villagers gathered in the village at 9:00 a.m. and attempted to march to the land, but were blocked by seven jeeps of soldiers and border police who threw sound grenades and shot rubber bullets, injuring at least one person.
