Statement on the 11th Congress of the General Union of Palestinian Students
The Young Communist League congratulates the General Union of Palestinian Students (GUPS) on the historic occasion of its 11th National Congress held in Beirut, Lebanon from 29 July to 1 August, the first to be held since the National Congress held in Baghdad, Iraq in 1990, and is honoured to have been invited and to have attended as a guest to this important event.
FREEDOM FOR MILOŠ KARAVEZIĆ
The Young Communist League of Britain stands in solidarity with our fraternal party and fellow World Federation of Democratic Youth (WFDY) member Savez Komunističke Omladine Jugoslavije (SKOJ) in demanding the immediate release of comrade Miloš Karavezić, General Secretary of SKOJ.
Statement on Far-Right Attacks
The YCL condemns the most recent attempts by the far-right to latch on to tragedy for their own nefarious purposes, and vows to continue its work in building the united front to bring together progressive organisations against racism and fascism.
Nakba Day 2026
In its commemoration of Nakba Day in 2026, the Young Communist League of Britain extends its admiration for the continuing sumud of the Palestinian people and condemns the Israeli ethnic cleansing of Palestine since 1947 and the ongoing genocide in Gaza lasting over two and a half years.
YCL Stands with the Palestinian Prisoners and Against the Israeli Noose
The YCL calls for the release of all Palestinians unjustly detained by Israeli forces, who suffer daily under a systematic regime of torture, starvation, medical neglect and
sexual violence, as well as for the British government to sever the country’s alliance with the genocidal apartheid state of Israel and the establishment of an independent state of Palestine in practice.
May Day 2026 Statement
This May Day, the Young Communist League picks up the banner of our forebears and declares “We shall fight again!”
