The World Jewish Congress was informed today by the Pakistan High Commissioner that since the U.N. partition decision, special protection has been arranged for the Jews in Peshawar and “every facility has been given to those wishing to leave the city.”
The Pakistan official, replying to a W.J.C. memorandum regarding the reported massacres of Jews in Peshawar, said the report was erroneous and that the only incident which occurred was the robbery of a Jewish home by four thieves in which one woman was killed and two men and a girl were injured.
