30 At present, all anti-communist organi zations and groups, including “So lidarity”, were forced to go into the Underground. There is an enormous ra- dicalization of political programs. The underground “Solidarity” is now called the “Fighting Solidarity”. This is a direct result of still growing importance and in fluence of the Confederacy of Independent Poland. Trials of Estonians In December 1983, trials took place of 3 Estonians: Lagle Parek, Heiki Ahonen and Arno Pesti. They were sentenced for writing open letters — suggesting that the Baltic countries be included in the Nordic atom-free zone — that were characterized as defamatory and malicious anti-Soviet propaganda. Lagle Parek was sentenced to six years in a strict regime camp and three years internal exile. Heiki Ahonen and Arno Pesti each received five years strict regime and two years internal exile. Johannes Hint, a Doctor of Technology, awarded several times for his innovations of construction materials and applications, was sentenced to ten years of strict regime for allegedly plundering state properties and abusing his administrative position. Lithuanians Persecuted On May 24, 1983, Jonas Sadunas, the brother of Lithuanian human rights ac tivist Nijole Sadunaite, was sentenced to 18 months of “deprivation of freedom”. According to “Elta”, Sadunas was con victed for “personal libel”. He has been a victim of personal harassment by the Soviet authorities since 1980. Another Lithuanian, Mrs. Jadvyga Bieliauskiene, a Catholic activist, was sentenced in 1983 to 4 years imprisonment and 3 years of internal exile for “anti- Soviet agitation and propaganda”. Ac cording to the report released by Reuters on May 24, 1983, she was accused of conducting religious activities with children — an offence under Soviet law. On December 7, 1983 the “Sovietskaya Litva” announced that Father Sigitas Tamkevicus was sentenced to 6 years of labour camps and 4 years of internal exile for allegedly having been found guilty of “malicious and premeditated anti-state and anti-Soviet activity”. Latvian Baptists Sentenced to Long Terms of Imprisonment On December 7, 1983, the 34 year-old Latvian Baptist, Janis Rozkalns, was sentenced in Riga to 5 years’ hard labour and 3 years of internal exile. At the same time the 28 year-old Latvian Baptist Janis Veveris was sentenced to 3 years of hard labour. Both Latvians were accused of "anti-Soviet agitation and propaganda”. During his period of arrest, from April 20 to the date of his trial in December 1983, Janis Rozkalns suffered a serious kidney ailment. His state of health would warrant admission to a hospital rather than transportation to a hard labour camp. Unjust Treatment of Latvian Bishop Latvian Bishop, Kazimir Dulbinskis, after serving years of imprisonment and exile on and off from 1949 to 1964, has not been permitted to perform his epis copal duties on his return to Latvia in 1964, but instead has been forced to per form heavy physical work. The ban on the execution of Bishop Dulbinskis’ epis copal duties is a great injustice; it con tradicts the UN Charter on Human Rights, as well as the Helsinki Agreements to which the Soviet Union was also a signatory and, moreover, it is not in ac cordance with the Soviet Constitution. Afghanistan The technological improvements of the Soviet Armed Forces over the years have 31 been of no avail to Moscow in Afghani stan, where the Afghan Mujahideen have been able to withstand a 110,000 strong Soviet army. The presently attempted russification process of the Kabul Administration in the fifth year of occupation by the Red Army has not only been unsuccessful but has, in fact, back-fired. The russification process is limited to Kabul city only, and even there in the capital it is just limited to the Kabul Administration and Kabul University. The Soviet propaganda machine and its subtle manipulation of the mass media, especially the propaganda from Kabul Radio and the Russian films on Kabul TV are constantly presenting the Soviet Union as victorious and invincible. The majority of the Kabul population is not affected by this propaganda, and the Af ghan people are now becoming more po litically conscious of their own national identity. In spite of the total russification pro cesses in the Afghan administration, the militia, education, mass media and family, the Afghan people continue their struggle for Afghanistan’s survival as a sovereign nation. President Reagan in 1981 corrected Frank Reynolds of ABC when he referred to the Afghan mujahideen as “rebels”. "They are freedom fighters,” President Reagan said, “who are fighting for their own country and who do not want to be a puppet state of the Soviets”. Let us help make that battle for freedom a reality for the 17 million people of Afghanistan. Moscow’s Attacks on ABN Due to its activities, ABN is constantly attacked by Moscow. On the occasion of the 40th Anniversary of ABN, Moscow organized a press conference in Kyiv, the capital of Ukraine, with a severe attack on ABN President, Yaroslav Stetsko, and ABN activities in the Western world and behind the Iron Curtain. This attack was echoed throughout the Russian empire. Over 30 major news papers and journals published this attack, such as “Izvestia”, with a circulation of 8 million, “Pravda”, “Radianska Ukra- ina”, “Robitnycha Hazeta”, “Holos Ro- diny”, "Literaturna Ukraina”, “Molod Ukrainy”, “Silski Visti”, “Perspectives in Poland”, and others. Here are just a few quotations: “In 1981, the US Congress gave a re ception for a war criminal, leader of the terrorist foreign units of the Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists, Yaroslav Stets ko, who, from his base in Munich, directs his OUN-ite terrorists in the USA. The sympathetic reaction from the Congress hawks to Stetsko’s reproach about the West’s weak spirit as a result of which the Soviet Union allegedly “skillfully exploits the Western fear of nuclear war”. “The feature of the week in 1982 was the reception given by the US President for a group of Ukrainian bourgeois na tionalists. Raising this hullabaloo about the rights of the captive nations, about the liberation of socialist states, the US leaders do not limit themselves solely to propagating the cold, psychological or psychopolitical warfares.” “‘The citadel of human freedom’, as the United States was pompously named in the resolution of the US Congress, adopt ed in connection with the first proclama tion of the Captive Nations Week, reveal ed to the entire world its true attitude toward the state sovereignty of other countries, toward freedom and human rights”. (“Visti z Ukrainy” No. 29, 1983 (News From Ukraine). Radio Moscow in its “World Service in English” broadcast ed the following statement: “Yaroslav Stetsko won high praise from the Reagan administration......he now hails the foreign policy of the Reagan admin istration; a policy which, as he said in the 32 Washington Times interview, is favourably different from that of the former admin istrations. The recognition of the USSR by the Roosevelt administration was a mistake, said Yaroslav Stetsko. He calls for breaking off of all relations with the Soviet Union and for disbanding the UN as a forum for Russian and communist propaganda...” Or for example the following quote taken from “News from Ukraine”, No. 48, 1982: "In April 1982, Banderite leader Y. Stetsko spoke at the congress of the North American section of the so-called World Anti-Communist League in Phoenix, Ari zona”. He “calls to the US Government to intensify the fomenting role of the sta tions’ activities. Besides, Y. Stetsko called for a more extensive use of the nationalists in the anti-Soviet subversive broadcasts.” In addition, the communist authorities published a special brochure in English, German, French and Spanish entitled “Under the Cloak of ABN”, which con tained severe attacks against the liberation movements united in ABN. Similar attacks are repeated almost every month in different newspapers and magazines. This shows that if such an active underground activity did not exist, then so much attention would not have to be paid to it. CONCLUSION We have just mentioned a few more striking examples of unlawful repressions in some of the subjugated nations. How ever, it is our duty to remember also that nations such as Hungary, Rumania, Bul garia, Croatia, Slovakia, Byelorussia, Al bania, Bohemia, Armenia, Azerbaijan, North Caucasus, Cossakia, Idel-Ural and Turkestan are constantly engaged in the battle for their survival in defence of their national language and identity, cul ture, traditions and religion, for their na tional independence, human rights and state sovereignty. “ULTIMATE TRIUMPH OVER TYRANNY” I am very happy to extend warm greetings to all those who are gathered for the 14th Congress of the Ukrainian Congress Committee of America Inc. Your organization is part of the rich ethnic diversity that enhances our culture and is so essential to America’s strength. Through your many worth while cultural programs, you help to preserve the rich heritage of your Ukrain ian forebears while simultaneously encouraging dedication to the ideals upon which this nation was founded. The valor, dignity, and dedication Ukrainians have displayed in the pursuit of freedom reaffirm our confidence in the ultimate triumph of the free human spirit over tyranny. I applaud the efforts of organiza tions like yours which contribute in so many ways to the well-being of America. Nancy joins me in sending best wishes for every success in the years ahead. Ronald Reagan 33 e w § o n I e w s Communiqué of the Islamic Alliance of Afghan Mujahideen In the names of those dear and com mitted brothers in the besanguined strong holds, who defend the tenets and bound aries of Islam, with patience and forti tude: Assalamu Alaikum Wa Rahmatullah Wa Barakatuhu, (Peace be with you and Blessing upon you) At this critical juncture, when your breaking blows have brought the bloody enemy to its knees, it desperately resorts to frenzied and fierce reprisal attacks; trampling all human laws and norms, uses chemical warfare. Thus, it intends to terrorise the masses and vainly tries to perpetuate its despicable presence in our country. The leadership of jihad, with total mutual trust and confidence, with a strong belief in the bright future of jihad, in order to bring about full solidarity, unity and cohesion among the ranks of the Mujahideen, draw your attention to the following points: 1. While desiring full cooperation, co ordination, solidarity and cohesion among the Mujahideen all over Afghanistan, we order in particular the Mujahideen of the Hezb-i-Islami and Jamiat-i-Islami, who have the honour of being the vanguards of the Islamic revolution in Afghanistan, to closely cooperate, unite their forces and mobilize them unitedly against the com mon enemy. 2. The brave Mujahideen of these two organizations, while supporting the Islamic Unity of Afghan Mujahideen (I.U.A.M.), in line with their Islamic duties, for the establishment of an Is lamic Government and victory of the Is lamic revolution, should invite all Muslim Mujahideen who are fighting against Russian imperialism, to an all-out Unity, should sincerely support them, and should concentrate all their forces against the common enemy i.e. the Russians and their lackeys. 3. While the blood-thirsty enemy is bent on crushing the major centers and strongholds of the Mujahideen and on the massacre of civilians and defenceless people, the Mujahideen should pound the enemy positions with tooth-breaking blows and should never allow the enemy to find a chance to crush a single strong hold and all Mujahideen should rush to help the centers and strongholds under Russian attack and should not spare them any supplies which they may possess. 4. While we are sure of the prudence and discretion of our brave commanders, we advise them to be vigilant and watch ful against the enemy agents, the KGB and spies who may infiltrate your ranks; and should get rid of those elements that try to sow the seeds of discord among the Mujahideen’s ranks. 5. All Mujahideen are advised, partic ularly the Mujahideen of Jamiat-i-Islami and Hezb-i-Islami to extend all facilities and hospitality to the Mujahideen, who are passing through your controlled areas and ensure their security while in your areas of control. May Almighty Allah be your patron, redeemer and helper. Eng. G. Hikmatyar Prof. B. Rabbani 29. 8. 1984 34 John Dickie THE CHILD Tears as Youngsters are flown to Russia Afghan parents wept as their children were led on to Russian planes to spend up to ten years being brainwashed in the Soviet Union. The only smiles on the tarmac at Ka bul airport were from the wife of Afgha nistan’s Communist puppet president Ba- brak Karmal as she cheered the bewildered seven to nine year olds on their way. Diplomatic sources said yesterday that 870 children were involved in the airlift to schools in Soviet Central Asia where they will be ‘re-educated’. Thousands more are due to follow as the Kremlin faces up to its failure to win the hearts and minds of the Afghan people since the invasion four years ago. With the original invasion force of 80.000 troops reinforced to a total of 140.000 men, the Russians have been sucked into a Vietnam-type situation which they will only be able to escape from if they can train a cadre of young Afghan Marxists to take over the country in the long term. Attempts to ‘Sovietise’ the young by swamping schools with Russian teachers and setting up ‘friendship societies’ for Afghans to meet their Red ‘liberators’ were both scuppered by the Mujahidin freedom fighters. The anti-Communist rebels launched a huge leaflet campaign, warning the people of the Russian drive to indoctrinate them. They also managed to expose a scheme of scholarships for Afghans to train in the Soviet Union as pure propaganda. Karmal’s government has hailed last week’s re-education airlift as a ‘magnifi cent friendly gesture by the Soviet Union toward the Afghan people.’ But one Western diplomat called it ‘an attempt to employ new methods to in- STEALERS doctrinate Afghan children at an early age.’ He added: “Aware of the disdain with which young Afghans were treating the Communist indoctrination efforts, the Russians must have concluded that no thing short of a decade of Sovietisation inside the Soviet Union was likely to make a dent on them.” It is not known if parents willingly surrendered their children for re-educa tion or if they were bribed or coerced. » A Soviet officer ordered the massacre of 450 unarmed Moslem guerillas who surrendered their mountain fortress west of Kabul, it was claimed yesterday. A Western diplomat in New Delhi said: “Four weeks ago, a rebel force held the mountain fortress at an undisclosed loca tion in Hezarajot against a combined So viet and Afghan regime force until their ammunition ran out. “At that point they were forced to sur render. When the Soviet and regime force entered the fortress and disarmed them, the Soviet officer in charge gave? the order that all the rebels were to be sum marily executed.” Daily Mail, Wednesday, November 14, 1984 M. ALAM ON AFGHAN MUJAHIDEEN It was the foremost obligation of the Muslim states to extend help to the op pressed Afghan Mujahideen to enable them in combating the Russian intruders with full force and dynamism, said Pa kistan’s hero of the 1965 war, Air-Com modore (Retd.) M. M. Alam, while de livering a lecture on “Soviet aspiration in South-West Asia and Jihad-i-Afghani- stan” at the Jamiyat-ul-Falah Hall at Karachi last week. The Muslim World, Nov. 10, 1984 35 Khreshchatyk to be Renamed After Stepan Bandera Twenty-five years ago this week Ste pan Bandera, the Ukrainian nationalist leader, was murdered by a Soviet agent called Bohdan Stashynsky in Munich. Ukrainians from all over the world are gathering in Munich this weekend for a programme of requiems, concerts, proces sions and mass meetings. For those who have forgotten about it, perhaps I should explain that Ukraine is a huge country within the Soviet Union, more than five times the area of England and with a slightly larger population. Under almost any system but State so cialism, it would be a very rich country indeed. It was Ukraine which welcomed the invading German Army in 1941 with garlands of flowers — not through any ideological sympathy with Nazism, but as its liberator from Soviet imperialism. There is literally nothing the Russians would shrink from doing to suppress Ukrainian nationalism, which terrifies them more even than West Germany and far more than all the dissident intellec tuals ever born. But I should take a small bet that in 30 years the main street in Kyiv, now called the Khreshchatyk, will be renamed after Stepan Bandera. Auberon Waugh’s Column Sunday Telegraph, Oct. 21, 1984, London AFGHAN REFUGEE CENSUS According to official sources about 3.3 million Afghan refugees are residing at re fugee villages and getting benefit from the Afghan refugee assistance programmes of Pakistan and United Nations. The Muslim World, Nov. 10, 1984. Dieter von Glahn ABN from a German Point of View Between 1946 and 1947 I came into contact with the work of the ABN through my good friend Dr. Julius Braes who at that time was leader of the ABN’s North German Regional Committee. On account of my political outlook and my experience in Russia I was and am a de clared anticommunist. We soon came to gether to active political cooperation in the North German region. At the be ginning of January in 1951, my journal istic work in the licenced American Radio Bremen enabled me to present a com mentary about the work and goals of the ABN and in this way support their work. During the Free Nations Congress which took place in the mid-fifties in the Düsseldorf provincial legislature and under the jurisdiction of the ABN and the com mittee against inhumanity, we demanded the immediate establishment of a political general staff in the fight against com munism in the free Western World. An abundance of smaller and greater activities flanked our work especially in the North German region. I was, at this time, one of the first and few German co-workers in the ABN! If one observes one’s political work in such an organization soberly and honestly, then one must also be prepared to balance the books honestly and to describe the si tuation at that time. In the 1950’s the acknowledgement to anticommunism was a generally accepted political position and attitude. However, then came the period of political division which was introduced by the great coalition and the years of the socialist liberal goverment. The “New German Politics of the East” were introduced and were all discriminated against as “Cold Download Do'stlaringiz bilan baham: |
