On this day, we remember Rosa Luxemburg and Karl Liebknecht, revolutionary leaders who co-founded the anti-war Spartacus League and the Communist Party of Germany (KPD). #RosaLuxemburg (1871–1919) was an outstanding figure in the Polish and German working-class movement and a leading voice of the left wing of the Second International. She played a pivotal role in forming the International Group in Germany, which later became the Spartacus Group and then the Spartacus League. During the November Revolution of 1918, Rosa emerged as one of the foremost leaders of the revolutionary German working class and participated in the Inaugural Congress of the Communist Party of Germany. On 15 January 1919, Rosa Luxemburg and Karl Liebknecht were abducted and brutally murdered by right wing paramilitary groups—silenced for their unwavering commitment to internationalism, socialism, and opposition to imperialist war. Their ideas and struggle continue to inspire movements for justice and liberation worldwide.

Statement | 12 January 2026 Iran Protests: As People Fight for Bread and Liberty, Iran Also Has to Remain Alert against Imperialist Intervention and Shahist and Zionist Conspiracies Amid a deepening economic crisis in Iran, protests that began as a movement of workers and traders in December last year in Tehran’s bazaar have now spread across the country, developing into a mass uprising for livelihood, dignity, and democratic rights. Protests are unfolding across Iran as workers organise strikes and pickets in several sectors, and students rise up in resistance despite repression unleashed by the forces of the theocratic regime. According to reports, several people have been killed, with widespread violence reported from across the country, including the capital city of Tehran. At the same time, as the Iranian people fight for bread and liberty, we are witnessing cynical attempts by US imperialism, the Israeli Zionist state and forces linked to the deposed brutal Shahist monarchy to infiltrate and hijack the movement and further their own Islamophobic narrative and clamour for regime change. The Trump regime, emboldened by its recent aggression against Venezuela and the bombing in Iran in 2025 and driven by imperial hubris, uses the pretext of “standing with the people of Iran” to recolonise the country politically and economically and subjugate its people, just as the United States did in 1953 through the CIA‑orchestrated coup (Operation Ajax) against the democratically elected government of Mohammad Mosaddegh. The economic crisis in Iran is inseparable from the criminal sanctions imposed by the United States and Western powers, which amount to collective punishment of an entire population. They have devastated livelihoods, weakened public services and deepened inequality. This crisis is further aggravated by a monopolistic economic model within Iran that concentrates wealth and power in the hands of a few individuals and foundations, while working class and toiling masses are made to bear the burden. Like many historic struggles in Iran, including the 2022 Zan, Zendegi, Azadi (Woman, Life, Freedom) movement, the ongoing protests reflect the anger of the people against a tyrannical economic and political system that has for decades crushed democratic rights, suppressed trade unions and popular struggles, and denied freedom of association. We stand in solidarity with the democratic and working-class movements of Iran that have called for strengthening the struggle for livelihood and liberty against the repressive regime and for firmly rejecting any attempts to push the country back into the tyranny of monarchy or to exploit the protests as a pretext for imperialist intervention. The people of Iran alone have the right to determine the future of their country. -- Central Committee, Communist Party of India (Marxist-Leninist) Liberation | cpiml.org

A joint investigation team from CPI-(ML), AICCTU, AISA, AIPWA, and AILAJ reached Delhi's Turkman Gate today to inquire into the large-scale arrests following demolitions in the area. The fact-finding team met with the residents of Turkman Gate and the families affected by this action. During conversations with local residents, it was revealed that this bulldozer action, carried out under police protection, was conducted at 2 AM. The locals also stated that people from all communities have always lived together peacefully and amicably here, but now attempts are being made to spoil this atmosphere. Using one incident as an excuse, many innocents are being targeted. Many such people, who earn their livelihood through hard work and labor, are being illegally taken from their homes. Minors, boys, girls, women, and innocent family members are being arbitrarily harassed. A detailed report will be released soon by the fact-finding team. CPI (ML) Liberation, Delhi
