PUBLIC DENOUNCE

The year has begun and the bourgeoisie lackey of imperialism- with the murderous Santos at the head- already starts attacking workers and their leaders mercilessly in defence of the transnationals.
On January 17th in 2012 at night, at 7:30 pm the comrade Mauricio A. Redondo and his wife were killed in Puerto Asís. This comrade affiliated to Organización Sindical Obrera USO (Worker Union Organization) participated in the in the Oil Forum on January 13 this year. He was a worker of the company PEI (SERVICIOS PETROLEROS-OIL SERVICES) and leader and community leader in la Vereda Teyete, corridor Puerto Vega, Puerto Asís, department of Putumayo; a leader and militant fighter was brutally killed.  

We see very worried the situation in this corner of the country: Workers of Ecopetrol S.A are threatened in the area Nororiente Batería Mansoya. The union leaders of the sub-chairmen of USO Orito, Manuel Coronado, José Socimo Erazo and Julio A. Vargas are threatened by SMS-text message in their mobile phones. 

We call on the workers’ centrals and the USO to convene a national strike and demonstration to reject this murderous actions used against workers and Colombian People, to go beyond the simple respectful rejections sent written and by the post office; Let’s prepare in a coordinated way a general strike and mobilization like the workers of Campo Rubiales have done, as well as the students rejecting the Law 30 and oil workers from Nigeria, the 7000 workers of Palma in Puerto Wiches, among others.   
No more worker and peasant’s deaths! For worker and peasant self-defense committees and their generalized armament to smash the para-militarism and the lackey bourgeoisie in the countryside and city!
We must fight like in Libya, Syria, and Egypt!
