Dear Comrades,

The Central Executive Committee of the Workers' Party of Ireland meeting in Dublin on Saturday, 30th January 2010, unanimously endorsed a resolution supporting the struggle of the Communist Party of Bohemia and Moravia and condemned the anti-communist campaign to outlaw the KSCM. This campaign echoes the anti-democratic operation to suppress the Czech Communist Youth Union (KSM) and reflects a concerted effort across Europe to persecute those who dare to make a stand against imperialism and capitalism.    

The WPI condemns these actions against the KSCM as a gross violation of democratic principles and a cynical device to prevent the KSCM participating in the elections. The KSCM has a record of defending the rights and interests of the people of the Czech Republic particularly at a time of increasing capitalist crisis.

This anti-communist crusade is also ongoing in Ireland. The US government is persisting with its attempts to extradite Comrade Sean Garland, a member of the WPI Central Executive Committee, from Ireland to the US on fabricated charges as part of a US attack on the DPRK. The date for the court hearing is drawing near and a strong campaign is underway to resist the extradition of our comrade.

The Workers' Party of Ireland wishes to convey its solidarity and support to the leadership and members of the Communist Party of Bohemia and Moravia and demands the immediate withdrawal of all measures against communists in the Czech Republic and an end to all threats and anti-democratic restrictions on communist and workers’ parties throughout Europe and the world.

Yours in solidarity,

Gerry Grainger

International Secretary
