Hungarian Witch-Hunt Is On Now
From The Hungarian Communist Workers
Party
We, the undersigned parties note with deep concern that the Hungarian
State Court is now threatening to imprison the entire leadership of the
Hungarian Communist Workers’ Party for having committed “libel in a
public place.”
Our conviction is that putting political leaders on trial and banning
their parties is the work of dictatorships, not democracies. The action
of the Hungarian authorities violates all democratic norms.
We strongly condemn the political persecution directed by the judicial
authorities against the HCWP, as a part of its anti-communist
witch-hunt against Communists in Europe and against all those who fight
against mass the privatizations of all hospitals, schools and the
cutting down of social expenditures and other forms of the present
neo-liberal policy.
We call for international solidarity in defense of the legal and
political rights of the HWCP.
We demand an immediate stop of this judicial process against the
leaders of the Hungarian Communists!
The International
Council and the Editorial Board of NSC has sent a letter of protest to
the Hungarian Government in Budapest.
