From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Pakistani police ejects poor peasants from occupied land Communist Worker and Peasant Party Pakistan calls for urgent solidarity: Police SSP Liaqat Ali of Charsadda has raided Hushtnagar for ejection of peasants. There were approximately 150 police men and their were one thousands peasant women to fight against them. There was seven hours war between the parties and three people have been injured. The governor of NWFP is behind these ejection. Kindly convey this to all the parties of the world along with a short explanation of the story of Hushtnagar and tell them to fax their condemnation against these ejection to chief executive office. Fax no 0092-51-9211018. This is very urgent! Regards Syed Azeem, Punjab Secretary of CMKP *** Protest fax by the Anti-imperialist Camp: Stop the ejection of poor peasants from their land! The Anti-imperialist Camp is condemning in the strongest terms the recent attack of police and paramilitary forces on poor farmers in South Hashtnagar, Charsadda, NWFP, Pakistan leaving several injured and ejecting hundreds from the land which they work and on which they depend for their livelihood. The land to those who work it – this is the only solution to the abject poverty the dependent farmers are forced to live under. We demand the immediate withdrawal of the police forces and the return of the poor peasants to their lands. We regard the poor peasants of Hashthagar as part of the world-wide movement against capitalist globalisation which only has brought misery to the majority of the world population. Their struggle is our struggle! In case the repression does not cease and the peasants are not allowed to return to their lands the anti-imperialist movement considers to send an international solidarity delegation to protect the peasants and monitor the police. *** Recent reports taken from the “Frontier Post” of Peshawar: 16 held as farmers ejected Shujaat Ali Khan CHARSADDA: In a joint operation carried out by the police and paramilitary forces, occupant farmers have been ejected from the land in south Hashtnagar village on Tuesday. During the process 16 farmers that carried out encounter with the police have been arrested.
