Paraguay

The President of the National Union of Paraguayan students (FUP), Osvaldo Rosa, has been in the Argentinian embassy, where lie has been granted asylum, since June 29. Rosa, who has been constantly persecuted by the police of the Stroessner regime, has been accused in an official communique of sub-versive acts of terror. It is presumed that the regime took this measure in view of the danger which might possibly be evoked by the re-election of the student leader at the next FUP assembly. A liberal club in Paraguay is calling on the students to give declarations of solidarity for Osvaldo Rosa. Apart from Rosa, numerous other students, also accused of terror acts, are at present sheltering in the Argentinian and Uruguayan embassies and in other diplomatic agencies. Various other student leaders are exposed to torture in the prisons of the Stroessner regime.
