“His arrest is part of a process to silence all left-wing and socialist opposition”: Workers in Canada demand freedom for Ukrainian socialist Bogdan Syrotiuk ========== Workers in Canada are demanding the freedom of Ukrainian socialist Bogdan Syrotiuk, who was arrested on April 25 by the Ukrainian secret police (SBU) for his opposition to the US-NATO war on Russia. The far-right Ukrainian government has accused Syrotiuk of being a stooge of the Russian nationalist regime led by Vladimir Putin, but he is actually a fighter for the program of socialist internationalism represented by the International Committee of the Fourth International (ICFI). The campaign to free Bogdan has gained support from workers, young people, artists, and intellectuals around the world. Several workers in Canada have expressed their solidarity and called for his release, condemning his arrest as a sham and a threat to workers who oppose the war. They argue that his imprisonment is an attack on the international working class and tear apart the justifications for the war against Russia. They demand the immediate release of Bogdan Syrotiuk. #Ukraine #Socialism #Opposition #Arrest #Freedom #Campaign https://www.wsws.org/en/articles/2024/06/13/mlki-j13.html
