of imperialism and has opened his country to the counterrevo-
lutionaries from Afghanistan. The Zia government arrested
Comrade Jaru Saqi in December 1978, and a military court
convicted him for 10 years in 1979 in Hydrabad, Sind. He was
tried in another case along with Prof. Jamal Naqi and others in
a military court in Karachi in 1982, but no judgement has been
announced for him to date.
During this entire period of 8 years, he was kept in solitary
confinement for which legal cover was provided by giving him
a charge sheet as a civil suspect under the Army Act. However,
such a charge sheet is valid for only 3 years... His 10-year sen-
tence has already been served (with the inclusion of normal
remissions, etc.) and there is no other conviction against him...
All shades of political leaders, class organizations and intel-
lectuals have demanded his release and proper medical treat-
ment. On the call of the Sind peasant organization, which he
heads, there were dozens of demonstrations on March 6 all
over the country. But the military government and its inducted
civil government is so annoyed by his now legendary court
statements, exposing the real anti-people character of the mili-
tary regime, that they are bent on killing him in one way or
another. Men of good will in many other countries have.raised
their voice of protest for him.
Comrade Jaru Saqi’s life is in real danger. It is the duty of
progressives and democrats all over the world to raise their
‘voice of protest for this valiant son of the toiling masses of
Pakistan...

PFLP 4th
Congress
Political Report
This autumn, the English edition of the Political Report of
the PFLP’s Fourth Congress will be published. The Congress
was held in the spring of 1981, and work began to translate the
document to English. Unfortunately, the first endeavors were
lost in the 1982 siege of Beirut. Some time passed before the
work could be resumed. We think, however, that the document
retains its relevance in terms of the evaluation it offers of
events from 1973 until 1980, and the development of the PFLP
during this period.
The report begins with a general evaluation of the interna-
tional situation and its main components - imperialism’s crisis,
the successes of the world socialist system and the victories of
the national liberation movements. It also addresses specific
subjects such as the PFLP’s evaluation of China’s foreign
policy, Eurocommunism and the peaceful coexistence policy.
On the Arab level, the focus is on analyzing the background
and ramifications of the stage of Camp David, and detailing
the means for confronting the imperialist-Zionist-reactionary
alliance thus forged. Another section deals with the Palestinian
situation, especially the Zionist and imperialist plans for
liquidating the Palestinian liberation struggle in Lebanon and
occupied Palestine. There is an overall evaluation of the course
pursued by the Palestinian revolution and the lessons that can
be derived from this, such as the necessity of creating a sup-
portive operational base in Jordan, and the struggle against the
efforts to impose an imperialist political settlement in the
Middle East.
On this backdrop, specific chapters review the PFLP’s poli-
tical positions in relation to the developments of the period.
Shortcomings and wrong tactics are criticized, and guidelines
charted for future struggle. One chapter is exclusively devoted
to evaluating the progress made in the PFLP’s transformation
to a Marxist-Leninist party, while another deals with the mili-
tary struggle.
