A message from PSOL Brazil

SOLIDARITY MESSAGE

Dear comrades of the SSP, this message is to express to you the solidarity and support of myself and my party, PSOL, with the four SSP members of parliament who were unjustly punished for their silent five minute demonstration in the Scottish parliament in favour of the right to protest against the G8 meeting in Scotland in July this year.

I want to express the very strongest protest against this arbitrary attack not only on the four MSPs and their workers but also on the SSP itself, whose tireless struggle against imperialism and neo-liberalism have made them the objects of attacks from both the right wing and from the major parties in Scotland.

I stand alongside all those across the world who are fighting so that democracy, liberty and freedom of expression will triumph over the repressive and totalitarian system that capitalism is intent on imposing across the world.

Luciana Genro Member of the Federal Parliament of Brazil for PSOL (Freedom and Socialism Party), Rio Grande do Sul
