Is not it enough that witnesses have testified to hearing men moan from being beaten? Is not it enough that a military dictatorship is being erected. a military dictatorship which proudly extolls the example of Indonesia. where hundreds of thousands of people were slaughtered? While our immediate concerns have been for the safety of Americans detained in Chile and in the threats to the lives of some 13.000 political refugees from other nations. we cannot fail to express our outrage at what has occurred to Chileans as well. Beyond the summary execution of an untold number of Chileans and foreigners. the measures of repression include the abolition of the largest labor federation in Chile. the removal of all elected mayors and councilmen of city governments. the removal of all university rectors. the suspension of rights of all political parties. the suspension of the Congress. the imposition of heavy censorship on media permitted to operate and the suspension of all others. the suspension of civil rights and the civil system of law. Two days from now. the World Congress of Parliamentarians was t have been held in Santiago.
