In this crucial juncture of Pakistan's history, please help the Labour Party Pakistan to fight the terror of religious fundamentalism and US imperialism's war on Afghanistan.
The LPP has a very proud record of fighting in practice for its agreed principles of peace, democracy and socialism. Over 100 activists of the LPP have gone to jail during the last two years for fighting for the restoration of democracy and workers' rights. All the main leaders of the LPP have been in jail during this time.
Now once again the LPP has taken up the challenge to fight the imperialist war and religious terrorism. We need your support.
The LPP is organising for peace in a very hostile environment where religious fundamentalists are taking to the streets every day. Religious fundamentalists are the new kind of fascists and must be opposed in every aspect.
We have felt the need to take more security measures for the party and for the party's press. We have received threats from the religious fundamentalists, and without extra financial assistance we won't be able to properly organise the peace movement or guarantee the security of our members and supporters.
