Extract

To speak on the theme “Solidarity and Protection of Political Detainees” is unquestionably a difficult undertaking. Today, in 1980, the problem of so-called “political” detainees is one of the most controversial of issues and also one that has become heavily politicized. It is no easy matter to discern any truly universal solidarity concerning such a problem.
