FIGHT THE BAN ON THE COMMUNIST LEAGUE Pierte Rousset was recently released from prison after serving u two month jail sentence workers and peasants that they also have loyal comrades here on whom they can count 25th), seven special branch detectives raided the premises of Worker Fight, the small Trotskyist group They took away lists of addresses of subscribers to WF publications. The warrant for the raid was inued wider the Criminal Damages Act, and was obtained at Bow Street Magistrates Court on Monday.

The harassment of Workers Fight is undoubtedly a result of the princ darity with Irish Republicans, despite the ever increasing witch-hunt. In this respect Workers Fight contrasts sharply with most of the British left. Red Weekly unhesitatingly declares that if support for the struggle to smash British Imperialism in Ireland is a crime, then we should ulso stand in the dock. We call on the British left and the Labour Movement to organ ise defence for all the victims of the current Police persecution.
