Arab Communist Party

Arab Communist Party (Arabic: الحزب الشيوعي العربي‎) was a communist party in Syria, emerging as a pro-Chinese split from the Syrian Communist Party. The party was founded in February 1968.[1] The party was harshly repressed during the 1970s, and many of its activists were imprisoned. As of 2001 several of its cadres remained in Syrian jails.[2][3]
