20th International Meeting of Communist and Workers Parties
joint statement
The authorities of the
Pridnestrovian Moldavian Republic (PMR) on June 6th 2018 arrested the Secretary
of the Central Council of the UPC-CPSU, the leader of the Communists of
Pridnestrovie Oleg Olegovich Khorzhan. This happened after several of
our comrades had already been detained.
Against the Chairman of the Central
Committee of the Pridnestrovian Communist party, a Deputy of the Supreme
Council of the PMR, a completely absurd sentence was passed to Oleg
Khorzhan, who is known for his courageous and uncompromising struggle
for law enforcement, and who is occused of attacking law enforcement
officers. In this way, the authorities are trying to intimidate all
independent-minded citizens and to extinguish the growing discontent in
society with the growth of social problems.
The political regime of Transnistria,
calling itself democratic, arranges shameful persecution of opposition
politicians in the interests of the oligarchy. In fact, there is a
repression of the whole family of Oleg Khorzhan. In pursuit of
Communists, the political regime is going the way of the Nazi "forest
brothers" and “S.Bandera’s forces”.
Last year, the entire planet celebrated
the 100th anniversary of Great October. 132 delegations came to
Russia from all over the world. It was decided to fight collectively and
vigorously against the fans of Hitler, Pinochet and all manifestations
of neo-Nazism. And the leadership of Transnistria allows itself tricks
in the spirit of those whose ideas and actions have long been condemned
by the world community.
The Union of Communist Parties, the
people's patriotic forces are indignant at the pressure on our
like-minded people. Genuine Marxist-Leninist parties always stand on the
position of protecting the right of the nation to self-determination.
After the disintegration of the Soviet Union, the right of the
Transnistrian people to self-determination was violated by the
authorities of bourgeois Moldova. The Communists were at the forefront
of the defenders of freedom and independence of the young Transnistrian
state. Many of our comrades and friends gave their lives for peace and
tranquility, for genuine democracy and social justice on the
Transnistrian land.
We strongly protest against political
provocations and express solidarity with the Transnistrian Communists.
We demand the immediate release of Oleg Khorzhan and all the illegally
detained!
We officially warn the President of the PMR
,V. Krasnoselsky, and the Chairman of the Supreme Council of the
Republic, S. Scherba, are personally responsible for the life and health
of political prisoners. We will take all measures to free our comrades
and stop the tyranny. We will use all the necessary measures of legal
protection and hope for broad support of the progressive forces of the
planet.
We demand the abolition of the sentence
on trumped-up case!
We demand an end to the political violence!
Freedom
to Oleg Khorzhan!
Hands off the Transnistrian Communist party!
