from Mrs, E, Dales
The Defence Committee for Victims of Nazi Persecution has issued the folliwing statement: "...Qur ‘open letter' appenling to the Chancellor in Bonn, to uphold the observance of international law - which was signed by 300 eminent people from different European countries - was not successful. Mr. Knorr, the well known anti-fascist and resistance fighter, and many years national secretary of the socialist youth and now one of the executive members of the German Peace Union, was sentenced, following his appeal, to a fine of DM 2,000 (just over £180) for speaking the truth about Hitler's menerals...it the same time a charge of 'sedition' was brought against him, before a special political court, It seems obvious that the intention is to remove Mr, Enorr from the political scene. His party is the only party which demands and supports 2 nuclear free zone in Central Europe and the removgl of guilty nazis from public office..." The statement appeals for people’ sign a letter addressed to the Gan. Sec. of UNO, and the secretary of the Human Rights Commission.
