The National Secretariat of the Communist Party of India expresses its
support and solidarity with the people of Iran who are protesting against
the brutal killing of 22 year-old Mahsa Amini by the Iranian ‘moral police
on 14th September, 2022:
CPI believes that ongoing mass demonstrations of women, youth and university
students have displayed unprecedented bravery, imagination and dedication to
demonstrate their opposition to the theocratic regime and have drawn the
attention of the international community and got tremendous support for the
Iranian women who revolted against the onslaught by the present theocratic
regime.
Already 30 people, majority of them young girls are killed by the regime. But all
these excessive force used by the regime failed to contain the popular upsurge
of the Iranian people.
While expressing its support and solidarity with the people of Iran, CPI demands
immediate cessation of all kinds of repressive measures against the protesters,
release of all those arrested and actions against those who killed Mahsa Amini.
The CPI at the same time reiterates its position that there should not be any
outside interference in internal affairs of Iran on any pretext.
We express also our solidarity with the Tudeh Party of Iran, a party, overcoming
all repression for last 80 years is struggling for a national democratic republic of
Iran, where peace and justice are guaranteed.
