In Solidarity with the Iraqi Communist Party

The headquarters of the provincial committee of the Iraqi Communist Party (ICP) in the province of Basra was target of an attack with grenade on Sunday, June 2nd, 2019.

This attack came after the assault last month on the offices of the ICP in the city of Nasiriyah and town of Souk al-Shuyukh, in the province of Nasiriyah.

The Left Party of Iran (People’s Fadaian), while condemning these attacks in the strongest terms, believes these attacks are serious violation of the Constitution and the law, and a violation of the offices of a legalized party that has representation in the Parliament and provincial councils, including the provinces of Basra and Nasiriyah. These kind of acts are not an attack on the ICP alone, but violation of democratic practice and threat to the whole political process and civil rights.

With most sincere and warm salute and solidarity from our Party, we are confident that the ICP is determined to defend, with all legal and constitutional means, its right to peaceful political action and to promote its views and positions and fully determined to go ahead with its reform project that the broad masses of the people are looking forward to and which the corrupt are trying to obstruct.

In Solidarity and Comradeship,

International Relations of the Left Party of Iran (People’s Fadaian)
