Dear Comrades and Friends:

First of all we send you many greetings from the Headquarters of the World Federation of Democratic Youth (WFDY) in Budapest, Hungary.

As you are aware our member organization in Czech Republic (KSM - Communist Youth Union) started to face very hard difficulties due to the attempt of the government of this country to strike on them demanding the change of their political positions and   organization on February 2006. To stop these attacks against freedom and democracy WFDY and its member organizations have carried out several solidarity activities and actions from that date.

On 16th of October 2006 we got the information that on this day KSM was informed on the decision of the Ministry of Interior of the Czech Republic that makes the Communist Youth Union (KSM) officially dissolved.

Therefore we are calling upon all our member and friendly organizations at national, regional and international level to organize protest actions against this measure and solidarity actions with KSM to be developed during Two Weeks of Solidarity starting on Monday, 23rd of October 2006, on the framework of the WFDY’s International Campaign for Democratic and Civil Rights and Liberties. 

Enclosed with this message we are sending three (3) important documents: the Statement of WFDY, prepared by CENA (Commission of Europe and North America), the last information received from KSM, as well as the Statement issued by WFDY in February 2006.

Just for your information these are the countries where exists Diplomatic Sections of   Czech Republic (Embassies, Consulates, etc). They are divided like this: 

Africa: 6 
Asia-Pacific: 16 
CENA: 38 
Latin America and Caribbean: 11 
Middle East: 14
