Telegram sent to WFDY by Spanish Democratic Youth

World Federation of Democratic Youth, Paris

I beg to transmit to all affiliated organisations this appeal to young democrats of the world. Today begins the trial of Alvarez and Zaparain and other Spanish democrats. Franco is preparing for the assassination of the heroic leaders of the Spanish people. Refuses to accept the presence of foreign lawyers to defend Alvarez and Zaparain. It is not a court of law but an execution house where war criminal Munoz Grande, former leader of the Blue Division, will pronounce the verdict against the Spanish patriots if the freedom loving peoples are unable to stop it. Spanish youth asks you to intervene to save the lives of Alvarez, and Zaparain. Long live the World Federation of Democratic Youth.
