The broadcast said the PKI affiliates covered by the ban included the Pemuda Rakjat (the Communist Party's youth movement), Gerwani (the women's wing) and the big Communist-dominated Sobsi Trade Union organisation. All have been prime targets of the Army-inspired anti-Communist campaign that followed the crushing of the Communist-supported October 1 coup d'etat attempted in Jakarta.
