As the necessity of international solidarity, the Marxist Leninist Communists also defend through various statements and actions the revolutionaries and communists of other countries those who are being put into prison because of their struggle for revolution and socialism. The International Bureau of our party, which made a statement as part of the solidarity, stressed that it is in solidarity with the political prisoners of PCE(r) -Communist Party of Spain (Reconstituted) - who started a hunger strike action in the French prisons. After saluting the action of prisoners, the statement continued with expression of following views:
"Dear Comrades,
We support your indefinite period of hunger strike that you are continuing with it since the 28th of October. The isolation implemented upon you by the Spanish bourgeoisie and the French bourgeoisie in conciliation as an attack on your right to defence shows your rightness in the case and the desperation of the bourgeoisie. We are on the side of your struggle that you are continuing with in order to bring into vain the efforts of the owners of false file to get result through solitary confinement.
The method of isolation is the last method that put into practice everywhere of the world by the ruling classes in order to break the will power of political prisoners. Bourgeoisie, which could not get any result through physical torture, believes that it will achieve something through isolation. However the communists and revolutionaries held in the prisons of Turkey-Northern Kurdistan have already shown to the Turkish bourgeoisie that they cannot get any result also by that method. As it was until now, your struggle will continue to put in disappointment the Spanish and French bourgeoisie.
We consider our comrades' -Marcos MartEDn Ponce, Gema BelE9n RodrEDguez Miguel, Maria Angeles Ruiz Villa, Fernando Hierro Chomon, JoaquEDn Garrido Gonzalez, Josefina GarcEDa Aramburu and Marcos Regueira FernE1ndez from RCE(r) and GRAPO who are being kept arbitrarily in the French prisons since 2002- struggle in the form of hunger strike for indefinite period in order to be transferred into one single prison (Fresnes Prison) as our struggle and we embrace those comrades of ours."
On 9 December 2005, another internationalist greeting to the Spanish political prisoners came from ESP (Socialist Platform of Oppressed). ESP protested the isolation in Turkey and France by an action organised in Izmir, the third largest province of our country. The ESP activists who gathered in front of the Konak Post Office in Izmir condemned the isolation by their placards, slogans and speeches. In their statement, the ESP activists said "the ones who are surrounding our geography and the world with prisons are also forcing society and political opponents to surrender totally and, therefore, they always do not comply with concepts such as 'human rights and right to live.'" They emphasised that the brutality of torture still continues in different countries. By stressing that the political prisoners of PCE(r), who are kept in three different prisons in France and are on hunger strike for more than a month, ESP said it is important to defend just demands of the Spanish revolutionaries imprisoned with false cases in France in order to increase the international solidarity. ESP said "the great scream of the ones resisting with the tradition of not surrendering by girding the honour of humanity against isolation and oppression anywhere of the world is the great scream of our future in freedom" and declared that it will increase the fight against isolation and will always be together with political prisoners.
The ESP activists sent solidarity cards to the prisoners by saying that they added new voices to the voices of the prisoners of PCE(r) held in the French prisons and the revolutionary political prisoners resisting in the F-Type prisons in our country.
