Dear comrades and friends,
After many hesitations and delays, not least because of the brutal assassination of Benazir Bhutto and hundreds ofher supporters, the Pakistani parliamentary elections are scheduledto go ahead on 18 February. These elections are different to anyother ever held in Pakistan. We have received an appeal by threecandidates who are sponsored by the Pakistan Trade Union Defence Campaign and are standing on a clear socialist program.
They arestanding in three of the most diverse areas of Pakistan - fromthe proletarian heartland of Karachi to the tribal areas of Waziristan-but their struggle for a vote against both Islamic fundamentalists andthe stooges of imperialism has a widespread appeal. This makes theelection significant for workers,peasants and everybody in the wholeworld who is against poverty and oppression. Manzoor Ahmed, Ali Wazir, and Riaz Lund stand for a socialist federation of the South Asian subcontinent and world revolution. If the elections are not rigged, these candidates willwin. Poor people throughout Pakistan are enthusiastically raising fundsfor their campaigns. But they are facing some of the richestpeople in Pakistan. They need our help.
What can you do? We need to raise awareness about their campaign internationally, so please distribute this appeal and the accompanying pamphlet as widely aspossible. Organize meetings and explain the situation in Pakistan and theprogram these three candidates are standing for.Raise the issue in yourtrade union or left wing political party.Prepare for protest actions incase of electoral fraud against them.
