Dock workers' strike

On February 13, 1951, New Zealand witnessed the largest industrial action in its history, when waterfront workers (dockworkers) went on a strike against financial hardships and poor working conditions. They also demanded same 15% pay increase that all industrial workers had been awarded by the Arbitration Court in January 1951. The National government, led by Sidney Holland, in an attempt to break the strike, implemented harsh measures including censoring the press from reporting on the strike and making it illegal to provide food and money to the striking workers and their families. The strike, which lasted for 151 days received widespread support from working class across New Zealand and thousands more joined the strike in solidarity.

Yugoslav partisan Lepa Radić executed by Nazis

On February 8, 1943, Bosnian member of Yugoslav partisans, Lepa Svetozara Radić was executed at the age of 17 by the Nazis during World War II. She was part of the 7th partisan company of the 2nd Krajiški Detachment, and took part in Kozara Offensive and Battle of Neretva before she was captured by the Nazis. After failing to extract any information from her about the partisans, she was sentenced to death by hanging.

With the noose around her neck, she cried out: “Long live the Communist Party, and partisans! Fight, people, for your freedom! Do not surrender to the evildoers! I will be killed, but there are those who will avenge me!” Nazi troops offered her a way out of the gallows by revealing her comrades’ and leaders’ identities. She responded that she was not a traitor and that they would reveal themselves when they avenged her death.

She was posthumously awarded the Order of the People’s Hero on 20 December 1951, for her role in the resistance movement against the Axis powers—becoming the youngest recipient at the time.

Viva Sao Sepé!
On February 7, 1756, Guarani leader Sepé Tiaraju died in combat while resisting the Spanish and Portuguese colonial invaders in the municipality of São Gabriel, in the present-day state of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil. In that conquest, thousands of Guaranis lost their territory and the majority of the population had to flee to the other side of the Uruguay River, which is now the province of Misiones in Argentina and Paraguay, whose population to this day is mostly Guarani.

The president of the FPR declared his death a political crime. The FPR is the grassroots wing of the Communist Party of Mexico (Marxist-Leninist). Throughout his life, Gustavo had organized vulnerable groups such as youth, students, peasants, workers, women, and indigenous communities to defend the most fundamental rights of the peoples of Mexico.
