The PSM is concerned for the safety and well-being of the 207 Sri Lankan asylum-seekers who are being held at the Immigration Detention Centre at the KL International Airport as well as the 108 Sri Lankan refugees detained at Pekan Nanas Immigration Detention Centre
According to our sources, there are 15 women and 6 children among these 207 Sri Lankans who were picked up at a road-block in Batu Pahat 10 days ago before being transported to the KLIA for detention. Out of the 108 people detained at Pekan Nenas Immigration Detention Centre, there are 10 women and 10 children. One of the women is in her 8th month of pregnancy. It was also reported that the Sri Lankan Embassy, including the Deputy High Commissioner were forcing a group of Sri Lankan refugees to sign agreements for repatriation. The refugees refused to sign the agreements and the embassy personnel assaulted them by beating and kicking them to force them to sign the agreement.

Sri Lankan President Mahinda Rajapaksa declared victory over Liberation Tigers of Tamil Ealam (LTTE) as the last LTTE strongpoints crumbled. The victory is for no one but only the chauvinistic nationalist Sinhalese government led by Mahinda Rajapaksa, which has launched a brutal, merciless and cold-blooded military offensive against Tamil population for several months, inflicted nothing but death, destruction and misery. The victory which proclaimed by Rajapaksa, will not put an end to the conflict that has lasted for several decades, but signals new assault on working people in Sri Lanka – Tamil, Sinhalese and Muslim.

1. Socialist Party of Malaysia (PSM) would like to express our greatest concern over the current political development and intensifying social struggles in the newly born Republic of Nepal.
1. The political and military elites have once again revealed their true nature when the President who is from the conservative Nepali Congress overridden the decision of Prime Minister Prachanda from the Unified Communist Party of Nepal (Maoist) (UCPN-M) to sack the Chief of Army Staff, Katawal. Some opportunist sections of the coalition government like Communist Party of Nepal (Unified Marxist-Leninist)(CPN-UML) also turned to the right by opposing the UCPN-M move.
1. The army high command has refused to obey instruction from the elected civilian government as well as refused to implement key parts of 2006 peace accords which included the integration of UCPN-M-led People�s Liberation Army (PLA) into the current army force. Sections of the high command in the current Nepalese Army have committed serious human rights violations during the armed conflict with PLA and continued to enjoy impunity, even planned to stage a military coup against the elected government.
1. It is clear that the Nepalese elites wanted to keep the Nepalese Army from integrated with the revolutionary fighters from PLA in order to continue to use the Army as a violent tool to repress the struggle of the poor in Nepal.
1. The Nepalese elites have received support from imperialist power and regional power, especially the United States and India, which both of whom fear of the establishment of a radical and pro-poor regime in South Asia.
1. The UCPN-M has a little choice but to withdraw from the coalition government and call for street protests to defend democracy. This can be turned into a new wave of people uprising in the country for democracy and social justice.
1. The decade-long Maoist-led “People’s War” and the 2006 mass democratic uprising, have successfully overthrown the 240-year old monarchy and brought new hope for the ordinary people of Nepal.
1. The Maoists have played crucial role in overthrowing the monarchy and mobilizing the people in the democratic movement, and have gained massive support from the grassroots. Maoists won over 3.14 million votes in 2008 election of Constituent Assembly, and captured 229 seats over 601 seats in the Constituent Assembly, making it the largest party in the parliament. For the poor majority, UCPN-M represent a radical change that would increase workers rights, , land reform for the peasants, access to education and health care, equal rights for ethnic minorities and extensive pro-people economic development.
1. The current crisis demonstrated the bureaucrats and political elites, who are fearful of a radical change, tried to prevent such change and to seize power through undemocratic means.
1. PSM calls for
* UCPN-M and revolutionary left in Nepal to continue and intensify their mobilization of the masses in defense of the revolutionary process and democracy in Nepal
* Stop all imperialist intervention in the political affairs of Nepal, especially the US and India, have to stay away from Nepal.
* Stop state violent attacks against the protesting masses.
1. PSM also expresses its disappointment and disgrace over CPN-UML for betraying the people of Nepal.
1. PSM extend its solidarity to the revolutionary people of Nepal for their courageous struggle for social justice and freedom from oppression.
Long live revolution! Long live democracy!

To the comrades of the Socialist Party of Malaysia (PSM)
Dear comrades,
On behalf of the Democratic Socialist Perspective of Australia I am writing to offer our solidarity for your current struggle to defend basic democratic rights in Malaysia.
The DSP condemns the violence and injustices perpetrated by the Barisan Nasional government on the courageous protesters in November, December and this month, and stands 100% in solidarity with your efforts to resist the government’s fear campaign and to ensure that Malaysia’s working class and oppressed are free to express, and win, their demands for a better life.
In every capitalist country around the world, the ruling class is attempting to grind basic democratic rights under the heel of neo-liberalism and the so-called “war on terrorism”. Your struggle to defend the Malaysian people’s rights to freedom of speech and peaceful assembly is an important part of the global struggle to resist and turn back this assault, and on January 26th we will be with you in spirit and wishing you success.
Please keep us informed about your campaign, and send us email addresses and telephone numbers that we can drown with protest messages should the government crackdown on the PSM and other protesters continue.
Your struggle is our struggle.
For peace, justice and socialism.
In solidarity,
Peter Boyle
DSP National Secretary
