PROTEST OF COLD-BLOODED MURDER OF NALLA ADI REDDY, YERRAMREDDY SANTOSH REDDY, SEELAM NARESH and ARUN; FIRST OF DECEMBER

The Workers Communist Party (AKP), Norway, strongly condemns the murders of the above-mentioned leaders, obviously performed by the authority of the Andhra Pradesh Police Department.

The official report from the Andra Pradesh Director General of Police says that the four persons were killed in an encounter at Koyyur forest of Tadicherla mandal of Karimnagar district in Andhra Pradesh on December 2nd. Reports from other sources, as from the CPI(ML) [People’s War], say the four were cold-bloodedly murdered in Bangalore on December 1st, as they were entering an apartment there. Afterwards their bodies were brought by an AP Government helicopter, secretly before dawn of December 2nd , to the forest area in Karimnagar district.

Like several incidents formerly, this killing seems to be another arranged "encounter" used by the AP police to get rid of leaders of the CPI(ML) [People’s War] and their supporters. Nalla Adi Reddy, Yerramreddy Santosh Reddy and Seelam Naresh were all three leaders of that party.

AKP, Norway appeals to the leadership of India to investigate these killings; to order a commision independent of the State Authorities involved in the "encounter". That is the Central Home Ministry and the Chief Ministry of AP should be considered disqualified in such a commission. Evidences and informations brought forward by the CPI(ML) [People’s War] should also be handled in the same way as the declarations of H.J.Dora, the Director General of Police of AP.

AKP also will inform the public in Norway about these killings, and is forwarding a copy of this letter to the Department of Foreign Affairs of Norway.

Yours sincerely

Arnljot Ask

International secretary of AKP, Norway.
