The Revolutionary Communist Party of Denmark has strongly condemned the recent arrests of leaders of the Awami Action Committee Gilgit-Baltistan (AACGB) in Gilgit-Baltistan (Pakistan-administered Kashmir). Expressing full solidarity with these activists, the party acknowledged their peaceful struggle for the rights of the people in the region.
The party statement highlighted that these arrests once again demonstrate the state’s persistent attempts to silence the voices of working-class people, particularly when they unite to demand their fundamental rights. The ongoing struggle of Gilgit-Baltistan’s population for access to water, land, employment, and cultural identity is not only justified but essential.
According to the party, the real perpetrators are the ruling elites responsible for pushing the poor into poverty, inflation, and unemployment. The AACGB leaders have been raising their voices against such injustices, and their detention constitutes political repression.
The Revolutionary Communist Party of Denmark demands:
-
The immediate release of all detained leaders.
-
The recognition and granting of full political, economic, and cultural rights to the people of Gilgit-Baltistan.
-
An end to restrictions on peaceful political activism.
The party affirmed its unwavering support for all struggles against imperialism, capitalism, and oppression worldwide, underscoring that the people of Gilgit-Baltistan are not alone. Revolutionaries around the globe stand in solidarity with their fight for justice.
