An appeal has been made for letters of protest against the reported plan of the Peruvian Government to execute Hugo Blanco. The revolutionary socialist peasant leader has been held prisoner since 1963 and now faces a secret military trial. Blanco had organised peasant unions in the Cruzco region of Peru, which led struggles for land reform. Letters of protest should be sent to: Presidente Fernando Belaunde Terry, Lima, Peru, and to the Tercera Zona Judicial de Policia de Arequipa, Peru. Any contributions for Blanco!s defence sent to this publication will be forwarded. It is hoped to include a more extensive report of Blanco's activities in next week's issue.
