======================
Afghan Workers Solidarity Campaign launched
Become part of the campaign and sponsor it today
Labour Party Pakistan in close association with Afghan Labour Revolutionary.
The idea to start this campaign was discussed during the visit of Alan Macomb of Scottish Socialist Party. The SSP has already decided to actively support this campaign.
LPP and ALRO are appealing to all the international Left and trade union movement to support this campaign.
The main aim of this campaign is to help the Afghan workers in their struggle to survive. It will bring material help for the Afghan workers which will be distributed inside Afghanistan and also in refugees camp in Pakistan. It will help to strengthen the progressive organizations of the Afghan workers. It will collect and bring every day life necessities to the Afghan workers on emergency basis.
The suppression by the religious fundamentalists of all the democratic and human rights in Afghanistan over the years has left the organization of the Left and progressive forces in absolute weak position. Many had lost lives for the cause of Socialism in Afghanistan. Rest of them are spending their lives underground even in exile. Their families have been tortured and sentenced to death by the religious fundamentalist.
To help the Afghan left and progressive forces in their struggle to survive and promote their organizations needs an active international support. LPP has been active in promoting the Afghan Left for some years. It has now a plan to produce a monthly paper in Pushto language to help the afghan left in promotion of their ideas and strategy.
LPP has already started collecting cloths, medicine, blankets, shoes and other every day food items to be distributed among Afghan refugees camp through the ALRO and other afghan Left groups.
The LPP plan to send its first truck load of these items till 24th of November.
