Call for solidarity with politically persecuted activists in Lebanon

Declaration The General Union of Students of Lebanon

To all union political frameworks of students around the world, us, In the General Union of Students of Lebanon, We released a call to solidarity and cooperation.

Solidarity before the persecution of our colleagues in the union and in the field and those who fought with the power of control and the exploitation power from the day of the uprising to this day. The day the class economic system began to reproduce in adaptation to the regional political changes that occurred in our region.

From the day of the high fire, calls from the courts began to meet the Judiciary in cases of the year 2020, even a process that involves our comrade of the General Student Union, Khader anwar, After the action of “spray graffiti in the German Ministry of Foreign Affairs in December of 2023 In response to the support visit of the German Foreign Minister to the Occupation ”. It was already arrested, cited and judged by what they call "riots". And now a new court cites him to declare for the same fact the 23/01/2025. We consider that they are struggles that express our project with the available tools.

Our project, which is the opposite of the project of those who depend on money and power, is to free our societies of all forms of domination, Submission and exploitation, scientifically and materially supporting local production through cooperation relations, As we express in the middle of the war in the form of the help we carry out. At a time when the State was unable to meet the basic needs of the displaced, We were working to ensure means of production in the place to produce consumables and for displaced people to work in them cooperatively.

The day the regime began the security situation to impose the new reality, We raise our project high, of which our actions were expressive.

Science must serve society and not annihilate it, as did the Zionist entity and its successors, American imperialism and its other partners. Man is the compass and knowledge is at his service, Not to be intellectually dominated by colonial cognitive tools. Thus, In this new political reality in Lebanon, We say that the country's class structure is still there, Like the owners of the militias, And the "Ricos Party" (Economic power), that presents your project, "Aspirations towards a new Lebanon", To the new prime minister, And congratulate him. While, The poor project is absent after neoliberalism, Before the gaze of the Lebanese political authority, destroyed all forms of social organizations, like unions and others, Under the permanent and continuous threat of the Zionist enemy.

The student struggle, that does not give up his revolutionary and liberation tasks of society, It can only translate into the solidarity of all the actors in the world, specifically from students, After their movements in support of Palestine were a confirmation of these words. The second call is to cooperation with the aim of making science a tool for the liberation and development of societies, instead of taking advantage of it for the benefit of domination and exploitation with the aim of accumulating wealth and subjecting societies. further, We must transcend the individualization of the struggle and its fragmentation towards the issues of our societies, The reality of the system as a global capitalist system whose contradictions at the geopolitical level are only confirmed by their integration into a capitalist and murderous capitalist system of man and nature. Otherwise, A thousand gazas will be repeated, one thousand massacres and a thousand births, And whoever opposes will be killed or arrested.

Thus, us:

• We condemn and warn against the transformation of the Lebanese regime into an accomplice police system of international imperialism, And we emphasize that the persecutions and judgments of comrades and fighters for freedom in Lebanon are nothing more than an episode of the class struggle that we are freeing against the complicit local regimes and the murderer international system.
• We continue our local and international struggle, Resistance and revolutionaries, Students and workers, And our slogan is for them (students, workers, Against the occupation).
