A “White Paper” on the trial of Jewish leaders in Rumania will be published by the Israel committee to help imprisoned Rumanian Jewish leaders, Idov Cohen, deputy in Parliament and a leader of Rumanian Jewry in Israel, announced here today.
Mr. Cohen told a public meeting that a World Committee of Rumanian Jews would be organized to take a leading part on the world scene to seek commutation of sentences of convicted Jewish leaders in Rumania and to seek a change in the method of trying Zionist leaders in that country.
In addition, he revealed, large groups of former Rumanian Jews would demonstrate outside the Knesset building when the Israel Parliament discusses the Rumanian trials. He stated that a group of former Rumanian Jewish women now in Israel would call for support of women everywhere for their campaign to have the Rumanians release five Jewish women among the convicted leaders.
