A picket and meeting in Jaffna next week will demand the release of the imprisoned Indian autoworkers. India: ICF
Workers on tea plantations in Sri Lanka’s hill country and railway quarters in Colombo demanded the release of the 13 Indian framed-up autoworkers sentenced to life in prison.
The tragedy has provoked shock and outrage across the country, compounding the political crisis facing the government.
The event was a congregation of right-wing politicians, pseudo-lefts and anti-Marxist representatives of academia who are deeply hostile to the heritage of the Russian Revolution.
A number of Sri Lankan artists have sent statements to the World Socialist Web Site calling for the release of jailed Maruti Suzuki workers in India.
The Colombo event was organised as a part of the ICFI’s campaign to free the framed-up Indian autoworkers.
Students and workers in Colombo, Kandy and Jaffna denounced the heavy sentences imposed on framed-up Maruti Suzuki workers in India.
The well-attended SEP/IYSSE picket attracted the attention and interest of workers and youth who were returning home from work or school.
The campaign to overturn the frame-up of the Maruti Suzuki workers requires the independent mobilisation of the working class in India, throughout South Asia and internationally.
Socialist Equality Party campaigners distributed the ICFI statement “Free the framed-up Maruti Suzuki workers” in Sinhalese and Tamil.
