"The Revolutionary Martyrs Are Immortal"
April 24, 1997 Blood is dripping from the hands of the murderers. On April 22, the hangmen of the fascist Fujimori regime in Peru murdered 14 fighters from the Revolutionary Movement Tupac Amaru. In the fight of the Peruvian people for democracy, independence, justice an a life in dignity, 14 Peruvian revolutionaries gave their lives. While the fascist murderers were celebrating their cruel act with champagne, everywhere in the world revolutionaries and oppressed people felt the pain for the fallen revolutionaries and anger against the collaborating fascist and imperialist murderers. The fallen fighters from Tupac Amaru are our martyrs. They have written a honourable chapter in the history of resistance by the oppressed people. The fight against fascism and imperialism, the fight against exploitation and oppression is an international fight, it is a common fight. This tradition of resistance is growing. The fighters in this resistance are prepared to die, but they will never surrender. Their manifesto in Turkey was written in Kizildere by the fight of Mahir Cayan who fell in Kizildere: "We came here to die, not to turn back". This resistance is the resistance of Sabahat Karatas, surrounded by the fascist murderers: "Our flags will wave in all corners of the land". It is the resistance of Sibel Yalcin who fell with her weapon in her hand: "Did you ever see us surrender? It is you who have to surrender". In our country hundreds of people from the Party-Front fell in the fight against the murderous policy of the contra-guerrilla state in Turkey, in the fight against torture, executions on the streets and massacres. In Peru, Tupac Amaru carries this common tradition of resistance by the oppressed peoples. This tradition, this resistance, can not be broken by these murders of the revolutionaries from Tupac Amaru in the Japanese embassy in Peru. The revolutionary martyrs, the honourable children of the people, will live on in the hearts of the Peruvian people, in the hearts of all peoples in the world. They will carry on the flag of resistance. All over the world, revolutionary hands will pick up the weapons of the fallen fighters, aiming them anew against the imperialist murderers. The revolution can not be beaten by cruelty, by massacres. It will continue its road until victory, in our land, in Peru... Until it is victorious all over the world. We stand side by side with the revolutionaries from Tupac Amaru. We greet the fallen revolutionaries from Tupac Amaru, we greet the fight of the Peruvian people for a life in dignity. We greet them with the fight of the Party-Front, the fight of the people in Turkey for independence, justice, freedom and democracy in our country. The Peoples Of The World Are Brothers And Sisters! The Revolutionary Martyrs From Tupac Amaru Are Our Martyrs! The Revolutionary Martyrs Are Immortal! We Are Right, We Will Win! The Revolution Will Never Be Defeated!
