of your information service. We shall invite our firends and the professional journalistic organizations of all countries to express, actively,
their support to. your, thus breaking the wall of silence and facilitating
the diffusion of abjective information."
We have already had concrete manifestations of that support.
Last February the International Committee for Cooperation of Journalists
sent to the Commission on the Rights of Man of the United Nations and to
the international and national organizations of journalists the following
letter:
Sirs:
The,- news- that reaches us from Lourenco Marques and information
in the world press tell of the increase in "mopping-up" operations and
colonialist repression which have claimed large numbers of victims In
Mozambique. These sources tell us that lately the arrests have touched
particularly the world of the intellectuals.
We alert the Commission on the Rights of Man of the United Nations,
international and national organizations of journalists and world public
opinion. We denounce the Portuguese colonialist terror, which continues to
destroy human lives, trampling on the resolutions of the UN and the Universal Declaration of the Rights of Man, persecuting whoever demands liberty
and independence and the end of racialism and forced labor.
We invite professional press organizations to intervene with the
Portuguese Government far the end of genocide and to demand respect far
human dignity.
Freedom of information and of the press is a fundamental human -
right and the basis of all liberties honoured in the UN Charter and proclaimed in the Universal Declaration of the Rights of Man. Self-determination is defined by the UN Declaration of 1960 as "the right, inherent to
all peoples, to determine their political status and to pursue freely their
economic, social and cultural development".
In Mozambique, to recall only two aspects of colonial domination,
torture and forced labor are widely used.
In general, those who have visited Mozambique, when they talk
about torture in articles or interviews, refer to two forms of this barbarism which are most common: the "palmatoria" and the "chicote". The
palmatoria consists of the violent beating of the hands with a special racket
which wounds the flesh deeplyc At the end of 20 strokes (in general, the
minimum) the hand' has.become a mass of blood. This "correction", which
according to the colonialists is "the only language that black men understand", takes place publicly to humiliate the "guilty" and "to give an
example". The Chicote consists of whipping the guilty as used to be done
to slaves.
