Solidarity with the Cuban people!

Hands off Cuba!

Following its imperialist intervention in Venezuela, the Trump administration, with
sheer audacity, is further escalating its aggression against Cuba, resorting to
absurd arguments and pretexts. In this context, it is planning a new operation to
economically and commercially suffocate the Island of the Revolution by
imposing tariffs and sanctions on states that supply Cuba with oil and other vital
commodities, while even raising the possibility of a “naval blockade” of Cuba.

These measures come on top of the criminal blockade that the USA and its allies
have imposed on Cuba for decades, subjecting the Cuban people to severe
deprivation and shortages, as well as other actions by the Trump administration —
continuing the policies of previous administrations— such as the reinstatement of
Cuba on the despicable list of so-called “state sponsors of terrorism”.
We condemn the new threats of US imperialism against Cuba!

We express our solidarity with the Cuban people, the Communist Party of Cuba,
and the Union of Young Communists of Cuba, who, drawing on their revolutionary
traditions, can and will succeed in repelling this attack!

We call on the youth of every country to intensify their struggle and express their
solidarity with the Island of the Revolution, demanding an end to the threats and
the barbaric blockade of the island.

Cuba is not alone!

We march forward until the final victory of the peoples!

YCL-LJC Salutes the Palestinian people on Nakba Day

Central Executive Committee, May 14th 2020

On Nakba Day, The YCL-LJC reiterates its wholehearted support for the Palestinian people, and strongly condemns Israel’s occupation and annexation of Palestinian lands. Nakba Day is a day of commemoration for Palestinians who faced mass displacement following the Israeli Declaration of Independence in 1948. Hundreds of thousands of Palestinians were forced out of their towns and villages, many of which were entirely depopulated and destroyed. For 72 years, the Palestinian people have been fighting for recognition of their own state in the image of their national aspirations. Throughout this time, the Israeli apartheid state has organized the deadliest raids, in total violation of human rights and in total violation of international law.
