It said, all the organizations which gathered stand with the Palestinian diaspora who exercise their full rights and responsibilities to defend their people and their land, and stated that the current struggle in all of Palestine is the struggle of all people who want to see peace with justice in a liberated Palestine.
The organizations have stated in the press release that it is a stand against colonialism in all its forms and manifestations, and a stand with Palestinian leader, Rasmea Odeh, who is currently living in the United States and resisting the attacks of US imperialism against her right to live and serving her community in Chicago, Illinois.
The struggle for a free Palestine and justice and freedom for Rasmea are inextricably linked in fighting US imperialism and US-backed Zionist occupation of Palestine, and MSAD, Campaign for Peace and Democracy (Manipur) and all the volunteered individuals call on the end of all attacks of Palestinian leaders and an immediate release of all the Palestinian political prisoners in Palestine and across the world, said the press release.
The press release has also mentioned the following points,
– The questions of the rights to self-determination of the Palestinians and other oppressed peoples, including the people of Manipur, have not been addressed. This must be addressed on the basis of the universal principles of democratic rights and the aspirations of the peoples who wish to enjoy the rights to self-determination.
– We share the voice of the Palestinian resistance.
– We condemn the continuous illegal occupation of all Palestinian lands by Israel and US funding for the Zionist troops.
