Chris Harman 1942-2009

 
Supporters and readers of Socialist Worker as well as socialists from around the world will be sad to hear the tragic news that Chris Harman died on Friday night in Cairo where he was speaking.

Our condolences go out to Talat, his partner, his children and all his family and friends.

Chris Harman was a towering figure on the left in Britain and he made an immense theoretical and personal contribution to the Socialist Workers Party. He was editor of International Socialism Journal and was previously the editor of Socialist Worker for over two decades.

He was also an influential and highly respected figure on the international left.

He was greatly loved and will be sorely missed. We will let comrades know about the funeral as soon as we know any details.

There will be a full obituary in the next issue of Socialist Worker.

If you would like to send any messages of condolences please send them to martins@swp.org.ukand we will make sure they are forwarded to Talat and his family.

In comradeship

믿어지지 않는다.
지난 여름에 뜨겁게 연설하며 함께 박수치며 웃었던 존경하는 동지가 운명을 달리했다.

지금과 같이 설명이 필요한 위기의 시대에
전 세계 운동의 큰 손실이다.

깊은 마음으로
명복을 빈다.
