FREEDOM MOVEMENT OVERSEAS 155 Whitfield Street, London W 1 Telephone: 01-3876482/437 8705 Cable: Probashi London W1 President-Rev. David Mason. Pakistan is dead to us. The land which gave birth to so many of our hopes is a playground of inhuman hordes of an occupation army. All our unfulfilled dreams of tomorrows have become nightmares of murdered wives, dishonored sisters, and slaughtered children. We who refuse to return to our homeland as slaves of the occupation army and are determined to back to a free country committed to peace justice and democracy are sponsoring the BANGLADESH FREEDOM MOVEMENT OVERSEAS-an international campaign of solidarity with the freedom Fighters of Bangladesh.

Besides, we intend to mount solidarity campaigns in UN & USA (cost approx. £1, 500), in Nepal, Ceylon, Burma and Afghanistan (£ 1,500) in UK (£ 1,500) and in Europe (£500). The total estimated cost for the projects is likely to be around £7,500. This money we intend to raise primarily from among those who have been deprived of their
