ACP Secretary: Lebanese 'will carry on the legacy no matter how many people are martyred'

In an interview for Al Mayadeen, Christopher Helali, International Secretary of the American Communist Party, described the funeral of Sayyed Hassan as a moment of profound loss and unwavering resistance. Reflecting on his return to Lebanon after more than a decade, he highlighted the enduring heroism of the Lebanese and Palestinian peoples in the face of Zionist and imperialist aggression. Helali likened their struggle to historic battles for justice from Vietnam to Algeria, emphasizing that the resilience of Lebanon’s people, like its cedar trees, "have deep roots." As mourners from across the world gather, he sees this as more than a farewell; it is a testament to a movement that will endure, a fight against oppression that transcends borders and generations.
