[PEN-L:11539] The silence of Mandela

Date: 28 Jul 1997 17:44:08
Subject: mandela's silence on suharto genocide
To: Recipients of conference <iww-news@xxxxxxxxxxx>

As quoted in agitprop news 7/27/97:

	Mandela was silent on the Suharto regime's brutal suppression
	of political dissent and trade unionism at home, as well as its
	coercive labour policies. Asked for comments on the
	Indonesian regime's occupation of East Timor, he stated that
	it was an internal affair that should be resolved through
	discussions.

Did mandela get a lobotomy? ... Perhaps apartheid was an "internal
affair" that should have been "resolved through discussions."
