Mrs. Reja Oren, wife of the leader of the Mapam Party in Israel who has been detained for more than eight months in Prague on charges of conspiracy, received a letter from her husband stating that he “confessed” to the charges made against him by the Czech authorities.

The letter, written in German, was delivered to Mrs. Oren by the Czech legation here. This is the first written word that Mordecai Oren was permitted by the Czech political police to send to his wife.
