We the JRCL send our warmest greeting to the people who join in the international day for the freedom of all the prisoners. We are fighting in Japan in solidarity with you, comrades all over the world who are fighting despite the brutal attacks by the Trump-backed Zionist Israeli rulers on the Palestinian liberation struggle, those who are fighting despite the massacres and repressions by the Putin-backed al-Assad regime on the Syrian people's struggle, those who are struggling in various countries for the interests of the working masses, and all the persecuted working class militants, including the convicted workers in Las Heras.
With you, we are also fighting in Japan. The imperialist Japanese government led by Shinzo Abe has launched a historic offensive to strengthen its neo-fascist ruling order. Abe has ordered his party to start the parliamentary procedure necessary for the revision of the current constitution of Japan. The revision's aim is not only to strengthen Japan's imperialist military through the nullification of the so-called 'pacifist' article. The aim is also to give Nazi-like emergency powers to the Prime Minister, by which coercively suppress any working mass protests against war, austerity and brutal rule. We the JRCL are organizing a counteroffensive against it despite the oppression by degenerate leaders of the trade union confederation and the Japanese Communist Party.
Against Abe's offensive, militant students of the Zengakuren marched on the Prime Ministers Office and the parliament on December 8th. In Okinawa, workers and students are fighting despite police repressions to block construction works for a new US military base on this island.
Comrades all over the world!
We never allow the US and other rulers to oppress the working masses by their brutal repression. Let us fight in unity!
