O. Box-6247, Stn.-A TELEPHONE: ΤΟRΟΝΤΟ Ι. (416) 363-2834 ONTARIO, CANADA August 16, 1971. Dear Mr. You know that the secret show trial of our leader, Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, has already started on the phoney charges of high treason. We feel that we must do whatever possible on our part to create a public opinion all around the world against this unjust trial. Here in Toronto, an independent group of Canadians is now trying to send a public petition to the proper international authorities. We feel, we as Bengalis should co-operate with them. As such we are enclosing a copy of the said petition. Please make necessary copies and try to collect as many signatures as possible. If you have already made such attempt, please send the list or a copy to us so that a comprehensive petition could be prepared. Please treat this very urgent. Perhaps we will be able to submit the petition before our leader is sentenced to death, if of course, he is still alive. In any event such petition will be of use to mould the world opinion. Yours sincerely, M. M. Rahman General Secretary. PAKISTAN JUSTICE RESOLUTION The undersigned protest the action of the Government of Pakistan in conducting a secret military trial of Sheikh Mujibur Rahman. The apparent denial of all traditional judicial procedures and safeguards can only totally discredit the verdict. If the trial should end in the execution of Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, the inevitable result will be further bloodshed in a country which has already suffered so cruelly. We urge you to use your good offices to persuade the Government of Pakistan to abandon this unwise and unjust procedure as a step towards restoring tranquility and justice in East Pakistan.
