La historia del Partido comunista paraguayo es una crónica de hechos heroicos, luchas inclaudicables y lealtad a una causa que raya en lo demencial. Fundado en 1928 al influjo de las revoluciones que sacudían al orbe como cataclismos que daban nueva forma al mundo, sufrió la tenaz persecución de los gobiernos liberales que entonces asolaban al Paraguay.

Ruling Against Mumia Shows: No Justice in the Capitalist Courts
30 Mar 2008
by
Internationalist Group
On March 27, the U.S. appeals court in Philadelphia reaffirmed the frame-up conviction of Mumia Abu-Jamal, the former Black Panther Party spokesman and world-renowned radical journalist who has been locked up on Pennsylvania’s death row for more than a quarter century. After previously rejecting Mumia’s request to present evidence of his innocence, as well as a host of issues showing that he was railroaded by a racist court, the Court turned down Mumia’s request for a new trial. It upheld the 2001 ruling by a federal district judge that ordered a new hearing on the sentence, but limited the “choice” to the living hell of life imprisonment without parole … or execution. Mumia is innocent. He was declared guilty and sentenced to die because of his revolutionary politics and because for years he had been a thorn in the side of the racist rulers of the misnamed “city of brotherly love.” Around the world, millions have come out in defense of Jamal. This latest ruling, like all those that preceded it, shows that the exploited and oppressed must have no faith in the racist injustice system. We call on the workers movement to mobilize its power to free Mumia now!
