Ruthless Massacre
“During this four weeks of civil war Pakistan’s Central Government won the first round through ruthless massacres of the people by means of tanks and bomber aircraft. Nevertheless the struggle for emancipation of the 75 million people of East Pakistan marches on steadfastly along the road to independence. The entire population of East Bengal, united under the banner of the Awami League, are not afraid of death and boldly continue to resist-the more brutal the massacre, the greater is the sacrifice. Although we are denied reliable news, thanks to Pakistani censorship, we can well imagine the heroic struggle of a whole nation-the people of East Bengal.
