Indian farmers conclude protest after state government accepts demands. Mexicans march on the anniversary of the expropriation of oil resources and Bangladesh journalists condemned police repression. In our first story, Indian farmers were at a long march in the state of Maharashtra, concluded their protest after the government accepted their demands. Tens of thousands of farmers had begun the march on March 13th. The farmers were led by the All India Kisan Sabah, left towing farmers organization. The farmers had a 17 point charter of demands, the most important of which was on remunerative crop prices, especially for onions. They also sought ownership rights on forest land to tribal farmers, immediate financial relief of 600 rupees per quintal to onion growers and ensuring a 12-hour continuous power supply and farm-known waivers. The government was forced to accept the demands after several rounds of negotiations. Speaking at a public meeting announcing the victory farmers leader JP Gavith said that the committee had been formally to look into the implementation of some of the demands. For some of the other demands, the government has announced steps for implementation. When protesting farmer Pundilik Ambojadav died during the protest. Shortly after 250 km march began, the government promised it would accept the demands. However, the farmers were not convinced as the government had gone back on similar promises before. Hence, they halted their march, but declared that they would not return until concrete steps were taken. Following this, the chief minister of the state, Eknat Shinde, spoke in the state's legislature on the issue and details were also provided to the farmers on the implementation of the demands. Marash Shavas also the venue of the historic farmers Long March of 2018, where tens of thousands marched from Nashik to the state's capital Mumbai. India's farmers and workers are also set to hold a major mobilization across the country on April 5th to push for a variety of demands. In our seconds, only thousands are mobilizing in Mexico City's Zokalo on March 18th to mark 85 years since the expropriation of oil resources by former president Lazaro Cardenas. The mobilization was called by the current president Andhra's Manuel Lopez Obrador Amlo, who has linked the move by Cardenas 85 years ago to his administration's current efforts at building energy independence. The oil expropriation degree of Cardenas in 1938, ordered expropriation of oil fields, machinery, installations, distribution stations, pipelines and other physical assets of 17 foreign companies under subsidies that had control over the industry. This meant that Mexico's oil resources and industry would benefit the people and strengthen the national economy. The major motivation for the decision was labor conflicts between workers and foreign oil companies over salaries and working conditions. With the expropriation and founding of Mexico's state oil company, Pemex, three years months later, workers in the sector were not only empowered by the president's intervention on their behalf, but their conditions also saw significant improvement. The March 18th mobilization also marks one month since Amloh decreed the nationalization of the country's lithium, approved in April 2022 by the Mexican Congress. The company is classified as a critical mineral and is used to manufacture rechargeable electrical batteries used in a variety of electronics such as cars, computers and cell phones. Sitla Lihanandas, a senator and general secretary of the ruling leftist party, Burena told people's dispatch that the 85 year anniversary, I am quoting here now, comes at an interesting moment wherein it is important to re-trade the call for national sovereignty. For Hernandez, the nationalization of lithium is again to quote a parallel of what oil expropriation meant in 1938. In the State Office, in 2018, the Amloh government has launched a ambitious program to recover the country's oil industry, to decrease imports of crude oil and increase processing of oil and refineries. The recovery was also done with the intention to control the price of fuel and avoid the surprise fuel hikes that happened during his predecessor's government. The government's energy secretary has declared that by 2024, the country will have energy cell sufficiency and they will no longer need to buy diesel or gasoline from abroad. And finally, the DAKA University Journalist Association condemned the police action at the Supreme Court on Wednesday in which 10 journalists were injured. The DUJA described the incident as heinous and demanded justice. To quote the DUJA, the way the police have attacked journalists on the premises of the highest court of the country is totally unexpected in its uncivilized society. So, this attack will constitutionally recognize freedom for the media has been trampled and created a brutal example of human rights violation. This despicable attack is totally against the law. The Association of Bangladesh's Journalists in International Media has also condemned the attack. Scores of journalists were presented in the Supreme Court covering the bar association election when they came under police attack on March 15th. Among the injured, AT&N news journalist Javed Akhtar was described to be in a critical condition according to TBS News. A number of prominent civil society members also condemned the police action, stressing that this attack on journalists inside Bangladesh's highest court provided a brutal example of the state using the police as a means of repression. In the past decade, at least 15 journalists have been killed in Bangladesh as estimated by five UN special rapporteurs last year. A recent example of violence against journalists is the abduction and assault of Abu Azad on December 25th last year, prior to that, Sagar Sarover and Maharun Rune were stabbed to death at their homes in 2021. The violence has not come solely in the hands of the police, representatives of the Avami League, which is a ruling party and its supporters have been harassing and physically attacking journalists as well. Reporters without borders has registered seven such serious attacks in the past two months. And that's all we have time for today. We will be back with more News or Monday.
