TERRORISM IN CENTRAL AMERICA: BLAME IT ON THE SANDINISTAS • The newsletter says Assistant Chancellor John Cummins expressed "outrage and shock" on behalf of the campus administration in reaction to an advertisement placed by the Swallow Restaurant in the Biko Plaza News. The newsletter reports Benjamin Moloisi, a poet, having been on death row since 1983 for killing a policeman. The newsletter says 946 people are still being held under state of emergency provisions as coal and gold miners gear up for a national strike to demand an end to the state of emergency. The newsletter says the bodies of 57 Algerians that had been shot or strangled and dumped down a mine shaft that was then dynamited to cover up the crime committed by French troops 23 years ago; the bodies were unearthed as Algerians prepare to commemorate the day 30 years ago that the French massacred 12,000 people. The newsletter says a demonstration to protest today's scheduled hanging of ANC member Benjamin Moloisi has been called by the Spartacist League and the Labor Black League for Social Defense. The newsletter says Congress approved - and President Reagan signed - a measure authorizing financial assistance to South African-backed rebels trying to overthrow the government of Angola. The newsletter includes a book review of Uncovering the Sixties: The Life and Times of the Underground Press. The newsletter discusses South African Airways (SAA), the ANC (African National Congress), Dennis Brutus, ASUC (Associated Students of the University of California), the Soviet Union, the International Festival of Youth, the Regents, UC Berkeley (University of California Berkeley), Nelson Mandela, Bishop Desmond Tutu, Internal Security Laws, sanctions, corporate investment, Chester Crocker, and the EEC (European Economic Community).
