Communist Party of Suriname
From Wikipedia the free encyclopedia
The Communist Party of Suriname (Dutch: Kommunistische Partij van Suriname) was a communist party in Suriname.
It was founded in 1973. The party was pro-Albanian in its political position.[1] The party ran candidates in the 1977 Surinamese election under the label "Democratic People's Front". No member of the party was ever elected to political office in Suriname.[2] Bram Behr, the leader of the party, was imprisoned in 1982 for criticizing the government and executed. The party published a journal called Modro. It had about 25 members in 1985.[1] After the Cold War ended, the party died out.
