THREE FRENCH UNIONS JOIN IN APPEAL FOR HUGO BLANCO
New protests against the threat of death placed against Hugo Blanco have been sent to President Belatinde Terry, according to the November 30 issue of the Paris daily Le Monde. On November 26 Daniel Mayer sent a cable in the name of the International Federation for the Rights of Man.
Mme. Nathalie Sarraute, MM. Pieyre de Mandiargues and Jorge Semprun added their names to an appeal for amnesty sent by the Committee of Solidarity with the Victims of Repression in Peru which was signed by a group of figures headed by Jean-Paul Sartre and Simone de Beauvoir.
The National Union of Higher Education, the National Union of Students of France, and the sections of higher education and research of the General Union of National Education, protested in a joint cable "against the death penalty demanded against Hugo Blanco." The three unions also cabled Belatinde Terry demanding that the "proceedings be stopped at once.'
