Naxal suspect Arun Ferreira acquires human rights degree in jail

SOURCE – DNA
Suspected Naxalite and Bandra resident Arun Ferreira, arrested by the Maharashtra police in Nagpur in 2007 and in jail ever since, has passed a post-graduate diploma course with flying colours from the Indian Institute of Human Rights (IIHR), Delhi.
Currently lodged in Nagpur central jail, Ferreira appeared for the course on human rights through correspondence.
Speaking to DNA, IIHR director Rahul Rai said, “I hear that undertrial Arun has done brilliantly in the exam. He has also submitted four project reports in keeping with the demands of the course, which were very maturely written considering the lack of resources available to an undertrial.”
According to Rai, 40% of the students taking the course comprised serving policemen, IAS and judicial personnel, and government employees. “The two-year course can be completed over five years through correspondence. Every year at least 10,000 students appear for the course and approximately 4,000 certificates are given out.”
The IIHR has a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with 13 universities across the country which recognise the course on a par with a master’s programme, which makes the students eligible to pursue a doctorate in human rights from those universities.
Ferreira, along with Murli alias Ashok Satyam Reddy, Dhanendra Bhurle and Naresh Bansode, was arrested for allegedly carrying out clandestine operations for the banned Communist Party of India (Maoist). In December 2009, the four were acquitted in one of the cases against them as the prosecution failed to prove that they were Naxalites or involved in any unlawful activities

APPEAL TO SUPPORT THOSE INVESTIGATED BECAUSE THEY DEFEND DEMOCRATIC FREEDOMS

LET’S EXTEND AND STRENGTHEN THE DEMOCRATIC WATCH!
LET’S FULFILL THE CONSTITUTION!
LET’S UNMASK AND DENOUNCE THUGS, PROVOCATEURS AND THEIR INSTIGATORS, LET’S SHOW THEIR FACES AND NAMES!
LET’S BLOCK THE ROAD TO THE REACTIONARY DRIFT!

Berlusconi in Italy and the whole most subversive and criminal right wing is trying to wipe out what remains of democratic rights and freedoms sanctioned by the Constitution born from the anti-fascist Resistance. They are trying to establish an authoritarian regime that implements the line dictated by Marchionne, the FIAT manager (“the struggle between masters and workers no longer exists, we must be united against the rest of the world”, he says), the racial laws, the new lager (Centers for Identification and Expulsion of immigrants), the politics of expulsions, the destruction of Roma camps, the curfews, the attacks to the people supporting migrants in struggle against racism and against the fake act of indemnity the State did. It is the line of the beatings, the arrests and the trials of people fighting to defend the country in which they live (in Susa Valley, fighting against the project of the High Speed Train, in Terzigno, against the opening of a new dump, in L’Aquila, devastated by the earthquake and still not rebuilt); of the State killings (Cucchi, Aldrovandi, Lanzi, Giuliani are the names that the struggle for the truth released, breaking the conspiracy of silence by the State); of the laws made to protect Berlusconi and his gangsters; of the impunity for perpetrators and instigators of the massacres of State; of the attempts to spike the “non-aligned” press and to get rid of troublesome journalists; of the restrictions on the right to strike, of the retaliation and attacks on unions that do not bend to the Plan FIAT-Marchionne, first and foremost on the Italian Federation of Metal Workers; of the militarization of territory and increased video surveillance; of the promotion of racist patrols; of the support and cover for the fascist groups such as Casa Pound, Forza Nuova, Fiamma Tricolore seeking to settle in the popular quarters to feed hatred and violence against the “different” people, racism and homophobia.
Along with unemployment, environmental destruction, racism, general deterioration of living conditions and social and cultural degradation, abuses, aggressions, violence, intimidation and threats are multiplying. There are multiplying as well the operations of infiltration and provocation that the regular and irregular security forces (fascists, infiltrators, spies, parallel polices, etc..) are ordered to do to quell the protest and rebellion of Italian and immigrant popular masses.
The struggle for “rights for everybody”, to “reclaim democracy”, to “fulfill the Constitution” is part of the struggle for not paying the crisis of the masters!
It is not enough to cry about the “democratic emergency“, we have to extend and strengthen the democratic watch! A first basic form of democratic watch is to denounce, unmask, and show faces and names of those “agents provocateurs ready for anything” that former president of the republic and member of the Gladio organization Kossiga indicated as a tool of the “democratic recipe”, and their instigators. In this way it will be possible to hamper and to prevent the beaters of the protesters, the torturers of Diaz and Bolzaneto barracks in Genoa during the G8 summit, the torturers of immigrants locked up in the Centers for Identification and Expulsion, the murderers of Carlo Giuliani, Stefano Cucchi, Federico Aldrovandi, the kidnappers of Abu Omar. We shall prevent them to continue to carry out their work getting off scot-free, protected by anonymity, and maybe even making careers for themselves.
It is a practical tool to block the road to authoritarian and subversive projects promoted by the reactionary right wing. It is an operation of democracy and transparency, which also concerns the part of security forces who does not want to lend themselves to the dirty work against the masses and Italian immigrants. It is a form of self defense for those who resist to the crisis and its effects.
Because of it we express our protest against the trial that the Public Prosecutor Morena Plazzi (of Prosecutor’s Office of Bologna) is trying to orchestrate against Angelo D’Arcangeli (Member of the National Direction of CARC Party), Vincenzo Cinque (national leader of Struggling Workers Union), Rosalba Romano (Association for Proletarian Solidarity), and Fabrizio Di Mauro, accused of having promoted the democratic watch and to have worked to show police officers’ faces by publishing photos on the site “Cop Hunt” realized by the(new) Italian Communist Party. We hope that the preliminary hearing that will be held on 22 December at the Court of Bologna will put an end to the repressive and intimidating stunt against those who fight to safeguard the conquests and democratic rights won by the Resistance and sanctioned by the Constitution.

We ask you to sign this call,
as organization, giving us name and addresses (e-mail or others),
as individuals, giving us name, surname, profession and addresses (e-mail or others)

From Italy to London – Red block Maoist Communist Party-Italy’s youth organization

The wind of rebellion from Greece to France comes to London
Red block Maoist Communist Party-Italy’s youth organization has learned with enthusiasm the news of the student revolt in London, and looks at it with great respect and spreading among the Italian students as a way forward.
The Government of Cameroon as well as all governments of the imperialist bourgeoisie, attacked the social status of workers’ rights of students and young people, faced a crisis created by the same capitalist system, governments choose to cut resources and the political and economic elites as political banks, corporations and owners revel in gold on the backs of workers.Faced with these anti-people measures that affect these different subjects, the teen angst of college students was the only flag of opposition against the government.
The British students have launched the loud and clear signal to government that they refuse to pay for the crisis of capital at the expense of the sacred right to education.The students even before the British workers and proletarians have had the courage to violate the prohibitions of the police and as one man were thrown against the symbols of political power and economic measures that have caused these anti-people: Westminster and the party headquarters of Tories, a member of the coalition government.
Legitimately students stormed the party headquarters of the head of the government sweeping powers of ruthless servants in uniform that could have nothing to stop the momentum of the student rebellion.At the moment Europe is like a huge prairie fire risk day after day to us is to trigger the spark: the revolt of the young rebels in Greece, the student revolts of 2008 in Italy and Spain, the recent general strikes in France threatened to cripple the country for a long time and now the great rebellion of British students bring a fresh wave of rebellion and a great example for young students and workers of all Europe and the world.we are engaged in the student movement in Italy for advancing now, after the great wave of the 2008 student movement, as well as quantity and quality especially radical. In front of the Gelmini reform that cut to 8 million with the immediate effect of layoffs of thousands of teachers and school workers, the risk of closure of many aetenei as well as the growing number of inefficiencies and inconvenience to students as overcrowding of classes and courses and so on.Italian students have much to learn from the students English, French and Greek and go straight to the goal: the Berlusconi government and the governments of all bosses.That is from Italy salute with enthusiasm the student protests of British students, which in Europe is raised against the piano students of Bologna and the governments of the masters.
Long live the rebellion of young workers and rebels
