In Kolkata, India, several doctors have been hospitalized after participating in a hunger strike demanding justice for the junior doctor who was raped and murdered in August. The indefinite hunger strike started on October 4 and is projected to continue, given the state’s inaction. Five hunger strikers have been hospitalized so far.
On Monday, 12 doctors’ associations met with West Bengal’s Chief Secretary Manog Pant. The main demands include the immediate removal of Health Secretary N.S. Nigam and enhanced security in hospitals, including implementing CCTV. The Secretary rejected the demand to provide a timeline for these measures.
On August 9, a postgraduate trainee at state-run R.G. Kar Medical College and Hospital was violently raped and murdered after she went to rest in between shifts. Since then, doctors have gone on strike and refused to perform non-emergency procedures. Protests in the city have been ongoing and are projected to continue, given the latest developments.

Oops, looks like we’ve stepped on the Empire’s toes—and did a great job at it! US Secretary of State Antony Blinken had us blocked from both YouTube and Meta. But shh... don’t let him know we’re still on Telegram, where we report without the elite’s algorithmic intimidation. Pass it on to your friends and comrades!

Germany “won’t shy away” from helping Israel attack Palestinian civilians, declared Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock in the Berlin Parliament. Germany is doubling down on its unwavering support for Israel’s brutal war of extermination. Just recently, Chancellor Olaf Scholz reaffirmed that Germany has, and will continue, to send weapons into the hands of the Israeli occupation forces.

Chile's Indigenous Mapuche movement faced repression yesterday at the hands of President Boric’s centrist government. In a march calling for the release of Mapuche political prisoners, police used tear gas and water cannons to disperse the mobilization.
Boric’s government has ignored the historic demands of the Mapuche nation. They call for an end to land theft and militarization of their territory (known as Wallmapu). Some hoped that the possibility of a new constitution would help address these issues. However, Boric scrapped the constituent process early in his presidency, opting to maintain the Pinochet-era constitution.

🟡 BREAKING: Israel has just bombed an aid distribution point in Jabalia in northern Gaza, leaving 10 dead and over 40 injured. People were lined up, waiting for flour when the attack hit. Ambulances and civil defense teams can't reach the wounded or the dead—the occupation army’s siege around Jabalia has cut them off entirely.

Supporters of Evo Morales in Bolivia have begun a strike calling for the resignation of President Luis Arce. Protesters have erected barricades to block roads around the region of Cochabamba. The strike has not spread to the rest of the country so far.
The strike is the result of the factional fight within the Movement Towards Socialism Party. The government seeks to ban Evo Morales from competing for the presidency in next year’s election. There are fears that Morales could be arrested this week, which was the trigger for the current mobilizations.
The government says that the strike is a failure because it has not spread beyond the Cochabamba region. Morales supporters say that this is an indefinite strike, with other regions joining in the coming days.

Today marks the 61s anniversary of Yemen's October Revolution of 1963. This revolution evolved into a four-year armed struggle between the National Liberation Front, the country's largest anti-colonial movement, and the British Empire. It resulted in the permanent expulsion of British military forces from Yemen and the dismantling of the crown colony of Aden. The last colonial soldier left Yemen on November 30, 1967, paving the way for the official proclamation of the People's Republic of South Yemen. In 1969, it became the People's Democratic Republic of Yemen, the only Marxist-Leninist state to have ever existed in the Arab world.

“Endless war, profits soar, arms embargo now!” Jewish Voice for Peace (JVP) activists chained themselves to the doors of the New York Stock Exchange calling for an end to the genocide in Palestine. New York Police mass arrested the activists and threatened a journalist wearing a press pass for filming the action.
The protest lands on Indigenous Peoples’ Day and Christopher Columbus Day in the US. JVP stated: “we pay homage to the movements that have fought against genocides Wall Street has always profited from, since its founding as a market of enslaved people kidnapped from Africa by settlers who carried out genocide against Indigenous people.”
Since the beginning of the genocide, Wall Street has profited immensely from its investments in weapons manufacturers. The market value of Lockheed Martin increased by 54% and General Dynamics by 37%, two of the biggest arms producers.

🟡 NEW: Rural communities in Colombia kicked out the military right in the middle of a large-scale army operation against the FARC-EP guerrillas in El Plateado, Cauca. This relatively big and remote town, long seen as a bastion of the guerrilla forces, remains firmly under the control of the Carlos Patiño Front. Reports indicate the guerrilla forces evacuated the town before the military arrived.

“There are more gangs in Chicago than in Haiti” — listen to Dr. Jemima Pierre break down how the US manufactures consent for its military occupation of the country. She explains how Western media paints Haiti as a crime-ridden, violent place that requires foreign intervention for its own salvation. In reality, the US seeks to subjugate Haiti for its own purposes, including to fight a looming imperialist war against China.

In a major win for the Palestine solidarity movement, Cornell University has reversed the terms of international student MomodouTaal’s suspension. As a result, the British-Gambian student will not face removal from the US for participating in a protest against the Gaza genocide.
The university has previously garnered international condemnation for attempting to deport Momodou from the US due to his activism.
Targeted for his outspoken opposition to the ongoing war crimes committed against Palestinians in the Gaza Strip, Momodou still faces restrictions designed to silence student dissent to the ethnic cleansing of Palestinians.
Momodou remarked, “I don’t see this as a position of strength from their part but that they are losing the argument intellectually, morally, spiritually, and politically.”
