Call on members and activists of the Hekmatist Party on anti war campaigns

Four years after the historic anti-war demonstration of February 14, 2003 in London, a mass demonstration on January 27 in Washington, USA, signalled a heartening way forward for the humanity. Thousands of people poured into the streets of Washington to express their opposition to the ongoing war in Iraq and the protested against the warmongering policies of the Bush administration. Once again, following the series of demonstrations of February 2003, protestors in Washington, in a magnificent show of defiance, exposed the criminal policies of the Bush administration. This new round of protest has attracted people from all walks of life including many of the veterans of the anti Vietnam War.

After four years of bloodshed and carnage in Iraq the ruling administration in the US are bent on further deepening the war in the region. It seems that the warmongers in Washington are determined to create further crises to cover their failures in Iraq and by escalating the tension with the Iranian government are trying to instigate another war. This would be a dangerous development with unforeseen consequences.

The collapse of US strategy in Iraq and the emerging division within the ruling class in the US has provided an opportunity for a consorted, widespread and effective campaign to force the warmongers to abandon their plans to continue with the current war and prevent them from embarking on new ones.

The Worker-communist Party of Iran – Hekmatist while continues with its efforts to end the occupation of Iraq redoubles its efforts to stop the US inflicting a war against Iran and puts the following initiatives on its plan of action to achieve this objectives.

1- Our Party organisation outside Iran strives, alongside the progressive forces in each country, to organise the largest possible mass protests against the US war mongering; 2- Explain and expose the truth and the politics behind the current war and the war mongering against Iran; 3- To mobilise the support and sympathy of people of the world for the struggles of the people of Iran against the Islamic Republic and the political Islam; 4- Our main demands and slogans in these campaigns would be “No to US Warmongering” and “ No to US interference in people’s lives around the world”; 5- We do our utmost to mobilise the largest possible masses of people to join these campaigns; 6- We at the same time oppose any anti war campaign that appeases the political Islam and plays into their hands. We will not engage and participate in such demonstrations. 7- We, reserve our right to participate in any meetings or gatherings to advocate and advance our aims listed in items 2,3 and 4 above.
