Solidarity
We protest against the continued imprisonment of People's Democratic Party (PRD) prisoners in Indonesia. They are not released because the government feels the real threat from these brave comrades in chains.
This exposes the hypocrisy of the Indonesian regime and its so-called amnesty for political prisoners.
The Labour Party demands the immediate release of all the political prisoners in Indonesia, including all the comrades of PRD. If the political prisoners are not released soon, we will be demonstrating in front of the Indonesian embassy in Pakistan to make it clear that we do not accept the hypocrisy of the regime.
