The Pakistan Government did not even grant permission to a Red Cross mercy plane to fly to Dacca. After Waiting for two days in Karachi with relief supplies it had to go back.
It is next to impossible for any human being to describe in words the ghastly acts of brutality committed by the Pakistani armed forces. But the picture that emerges from scattered reports is terrible enough to shock even the most insensitive mind. The appalling slaughter is still continuing-yet the resistance of the people goes on heroically values will go on, how many more lives will have o be sacrificed in Bangladesh for saving civilization from barbarism.
In this hour of the supreme trial and suffering of the people of Bangladesh, we appeal o the conscience of humanity. Help the people’s struggle in Bangladesh, help the government of the people, cry in a million voices halt to reaction, come in your millions to the aid of democracy, to the success of civilization and culture.
