More than two months after violent protests rocked Noida’s industrial belt, a investigation by Samarth Grover into the 4 UP Police chargesheets reveals a bizarre array of "evidence" used to build a massive conspiracy case against a group of left-wing activists and labor organizers.

Here is what investigators have logged as proof of a "criminal plot":

A public inauguration of a children’s library was labeled as a secret coordination meeting.

Palestine solidarity posters and labor newspapers were seized as incriminating evidence.

A simple WhatsApp instruction asking group members to protect each other's privacy was logged as proof of intent to commit an "anti-national act."

The accused include a 61-year-old veteran journalist, an NIT-graduate software engineer, a visual artist, and a theater practitioner.

Press Release | 4 July 2026 | New Delhi

Samyukta Kisan Morcha extends solidarity with the student's protest at Jantar Mantar

Samyukta Kisan Morcha has extended its support and solidarity to the student's protest against examination mismanagement and paper leaks and for the resignation of Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan. The students have been protesting at Jantar Mantar for 15 days, while climate activist Sonam Wangchuk along with several students have been sitting on an indefinite hunger strike for 7 days. Yet, there has been no response from the Government.

Samyukta Kisan Morcha has always stood by the students and the youths in their demands for education and employment. The National Council of Samyukta Kisan Morcha had earlier adopted a resolution in support of the student movement for the resignation of Education Minister, Mr Dharmendra Pradhan, and against the scam culture brought in the education sector by the ruling BJP-NDA regime.

The students and the youths are the children of the farmers, and the future of India. Samyukta Kisan Morcha firmly believes that the struggles of students and youth are the struggle of farmers.

A delegation of the Samyukta Kisan Morcha will visit Jantar Mantar at the earliest in coordination with the Cockroach Janta Party to express its solidarity with the protesting students.

We appeal to the students, youths, farmers, workers, and common citizens to join the protest at Jantar Mantar and support its demand for accountability from the Government.

On the morning of 13 April, workers across sectors launched a protest demanding better working conditions and a hike in wages in Noida, in Uttar Pradesh. The protest followed recent workers' strikes in Haryana, which compelled the state government to announce a 21% increase in the minimum wage. The Uttar Pradesh Police lathicharged workers, harassed women and verbally abused people at the Noida protests.

The police also detained several hundred workers and children. Activists have alleged that more than one thousand workers and other people have gone missing in Noida since the protests. The whereabouts of some were traced to the district jail, while those of several others remain unknown. The Caravan spoke to some of the families of those who went missing during the police action.

The police has confirmed the arrests of 396 persons, including four women. They have also filed seven First Information Reports on the protests, charging individual workers and over four thousand unidentified persons of attempt to murder, attacking public officials, rioting, destruction of public and private property, criminal intimidation, provoking breach of peace and other serious acts.

“…..on June 23, I registered realfactsfredhutch.com and proceeded to create a counter-website that responds to getthefactsfredhutch.com. I did this on my own. I received no money for doing it. In fact, it cost me $11.12.”

“If Fred Hutch is willing to go to these lengths to intimidate some random guy with a website who is mostly out of their reach, one can only imagine what they must be doing to their own workers, people who are economically dependent on the company and therefore have good reason to fear retaliation. Workers won’t have freedom until we can put a stop to this kind of thuggery.”

APP= Advanced Practice Provider = Physician assistants (PAs) and nurse practitioners (ARNPs).

Why are APPs working to unionize?

APPs are working to unionize to create a stronger, more consistent voice in decisions that directly affect our work, our patients, and the sustainability of our roles. Many of us care deeply about this institution and the work we do here. Unionizing does not mean we believe everything is broken or that leadership has never done anything positive; it means we believe APPs need a formal, collective seat at the table when major decisions are made. A union provides a structured framework to advocate together around workload, staffing, compensation, benefits, role expectations, transparency, and long-term sustainability.

What are the main reasons APPs want a union?

APPs want a union so we can have a meaningful, collective voice in issues such as:

• Workload and staffing.
• Compensation and benefits.
• Role expectations.
• Scheduling and flexibility
• Transparency around major institutional changes.
• Professional practice concerns.
• Job security and sustainability.
• Fair, standardized processes for raising and resolving workplace concerns.

How does unionizing help protect patient care?
APP working conditions are patient care conditions. When decisions about staffing, schedules, clinic structures, and workflows are made without frontline APP input, it directly impacts continuity of care, provider retention, patient access, and team stability. We have witnessed the real-world consequences of this firsthand, having lost several experienced APPs over the last many months. These departures did not happen in a vacuum; they are the tangible result of systemic strain and a lack of meaningful inclusion in the decisions affecting our practice. Unionizing protects our ability to practice with the clinical judgment, autonomy, and professionalism our patients deserve, ensuring current and future generations of APPs do not have to fight the exact same battles repeatedly.

With the presence of the First Secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Cuba and President of the Republic, Miguel Díaz-Canel Bermúdez, the commemorative ceremony for the 105th anniversary of the founding of the Communist Party of China and the 90th anniversary of the victory of the Long March took place at the Palace of the Revolution

To commemorate the 105th anniversary of the founding of the Communist Party of China and the 90th anniversary of the victory of the Long March—events of undeniable significance in the history of the People's Republic of China and the world—an official ceremony was held this Monday afternoon at the Palace of the Revolution. The ceremony, which was held in the spirit of brotherhood between the two nations, was attended by the First Secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Cuba and President of the Republic, Miguel Díaz-Canel Bermúdez.

This is what Comrade Hua Xin, Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary Ambassador of the People's Republic of China to Cuba, said from the Portocarrero Hall: common faith and experiences of struggle closely unite two socialist countries; both led by communist parties.

“The Communist Party of China will always stand with the Communist Party of Cuba,” the diplomat affirmed during an event that also included the presence, from Cuba, of members of the Political Bureau; leaders of the Party, the State, the Government, the Young Communist League, mass organizations, the Revolutionary Armed Forces, the Ministry of the Interior, the Cuban Institute of Friendship with the Peoples, and other guests at the commemoration.

Also present in the beautiful hall, representing the Asian giant, were officials from the Chinese Embassy in Cuba, students, and representatives of Chinese companies based on the island; as well as ambassadors and other members of the Diplomatic Corps accredited to the Caribbean nation.

In an address marked by gratitude, remembrance, and conviction, Comrade Hua Xin declared: “On July 1st, we will celebrate the 105th anniversary of the founding of the Communist Party of China. On behalf of the Embassy of China in Cuba, I thank the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Cuba for organizing this commemorative event, and I extend my sincerest greetings and gratitude to the Party, the Government, and friends from all sectors of Cuba who have consistently supported the friendship between our parties and countries.”

Comrade Hua Xin recalled the founding process of the Communist Party of China, how “its pioneers gave life to a great founding spirit: adherence to the truth, defense of ideals, fulfillment of original aspirations, undertaking historical missions, readiness for sacrifice, heroic struggle, loyalty, and commitment to the people.”

This spirit, he explained, constitutes "the spiritual source of the Communist Party of China."

Later in his remarks, the ambassador commented that "one of the decisive factors in the Communist Party of China's great achievements has been its constant commitment to strengthening its own development." He emphasized that a profound synthesis of over a century of experience has been carried out, incorporating novel ideas, approaches, and strategies in which Xi Jinping Thought has played a crucial role, and where it has become clear that "Party leadership is the essential characteristic of socialism with Chinese characteristics."

Later in his remarks, Comrade Hua Xin emphasized: “Today, faced with the escalating blockade imposed by the United States, as well as its military threats, the Party, the Government, and the people of Cuba remain steadfast in their conviction, will not yield to pressure, and will resolutely defend national sovereignty and the socialist cause.” He stressed:

“We categorically oppose the illegal unilateral sanctions and any form of military intervention; we demand that the United States immediately end the blockade and all forms of coercion, and that it cease violating the Cuban people’s right to survival and development.”

“We firmly support Cuba in exploring a path of socialist development, in accordance with its national conditions; and we highly value the decision of the Communist Party of Cuba to courageously promote measures of economic and social transformation. We are confident that, under the leadership of the Communist Party of Cuba, the heroic Cuban people will overcome current difficulties and achieve new victories in socialist construction.”

The keynote address at the commemoration was delivered by Emilio Lozada García, member of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Cuba and head of its International Relations Department. In his speech, he remembered the pioneers of the vanguard political organization in the sister nation and remarked: “Those 50 courageous communist militants have multiplied and today number more than one hundred million, making them the largest Communist Party in the world today.”

In a recounting of victories, Emilio Lozada said, "The Communist Party of China has achieved numerous successes over the past 105 years." He then brought up the fact that "in the history of its struggle, the heroic leadership of the Long March by the Red Army, between October 1934 and October 1936, stands out. This campaign gave a new and decisive direction to the war and demonstrated what a people, guided by its Communist Party, is capable of achieving."

"The leadership exercised by the Chinese communist organization for more than seventy years in guiding the long and complex process of building socialism is unprecedented," the party leader emphasized.

Elsewhere in his remarks, Lozada stated that “in the international arena, the Chinese Communists have promoted peace, multilateralism, the defense of international law, and the purposes and principles of the Charter of the United Nations.”

“The initiatives promoted in recent years by the General Secretary of the Party, Comrade Xi Jinping, regarding the Belt and Road Initiative, the Building of a Community with a Shared Future for Mankind, as well as the initiatives on global security, development, civilization, and governance, have been particularly relevant.”

Currently, Emilio Lozada emphasized, “the Communist Party of Cuba and the Communist Party of China are working toward building a bilateral Community with a Shared Future.” He then underscored:

“We appreciate the firm and unwavering support of the Communist Party of China against the economic, commercial, and financial blockade and the energy embargo imposed by the United States government, as well as against the infamous accusation against Army General Raúl Castro Ruz.”

The Cuban leader also stated: “The Communist Party of Cuba is grateful for the constant support and accompaniment of the Communist Party of China, especially in the current circumstances of collective punishment and silent genocide against the Cuban people.” He further emphasized: “The Communist Party of China is today an indispensable reference point in the process of building socialism and has demonstrated that the socialist system is a viable alternative to the savage capitalism that they are trying to impose on us from the North.”

“Its commitment to achieving a more just, democratic, and equitable international order reaffirms that a better world is possible.”
