Health Suffered

The students are under close observation, and several of them had to be sent to the hospital because their health has suffered: one of the students, J. Haramboure, has had a nervous breakdown. Visits by close relatives are allowed only once a week. The students have not yet been put on trial; they fall under a decree in effect since 1951, the so-called "condition of martial law," whereby the constitutional guarantees are abolished and the Government has the right to imprison people for an indefinite length of time.

From the Argentine Consul-Gen-eral (N.Z.). NZUSA have received, in reply to an enquiry, merely a letter of acknowledgment stating that he knew nothing about the matter but would find out. That was on November 25, 1954. NZUSA wrote again asking if he had any further information.
