A World to Win News Service. Following are excerpts from a statement by the Communist (Maoist) Party of Afghanistan dated 17 May 2010. Translation by A World to Win News Service.

In recent weeks, 45 Afghanistanis in Iran accused of drug trafficking have been executed. The Iranian authorities handed over the bodies to their families at a price of 1.5 million Iranian Touman (around $1,500). It is said that some of their internal organs were removed. It is also said that many more – as many as 3,000 – have been sentenced to die.

There have protests against the mass murder of Afghanistani citizens in Iran, motivated by various considerations. However the puppet regime [in Afghanistan] and its occupier masters have chosen to remain silent. They are in fact cooperating with this crime and have an interest in it. The Islamic Republic of Iran is one of the backers of the traitor conference in Bonn (December 2001) that took place under imperialist supervision. It has also been one of the regional backers of the puppet regime and so far has spent around a billion dollars on the so-called reconstruction programme in Afghanistan. Because of its own contradictions with the U.S., the Islamic Republic of Iran sometimes voices opposition to the foreign forces in Afghanistan and backs some circles of the fundamentalist opposition to varying degrees, but it is mainly one of the regional backers of the puppet regime, and the two have good relations. read full story / add a comment

Due to the unpopularity of Fianna Fáil the party leaders have decided to hold regional meetings instead of an Ard Fheis. This is to avoid images of mass protests outside a gathering of the party faithful. Instead they are holding secret regional meetings. The Dublin one is on tonight in the Radisson Hotel in Golden Lane in Dublin 2.
