Front-page De Waarheid report (5 Jun 1985) on Dutch minister Schoo's opening speech at the 28th IGGI conference in Amsterdam, urging donors to continue backing Suharto's regime without mentioning executions. A Komitee Indonesië spokeswoman says she was shocked that Schoo ignored the ban on Gerwani and that existing women's organisations are run by officials' wives.

Laporan halaman depan De Waarheid (5 Jun 1985) tentang pidato menteri Schoo pada konferensi IGGI ke-28 di Amsterdam yang mengajak donor terus mendukung rezim Suharto tanpa menyinggung eksekusi. Juru bicara Komitee Indonesië mengaku terkejut Schoo mengabaikan larangan Gerwani dan fakta bahwa organisasi perempuan yang ada dikuasai istri pejabat.

“Komitee Indonesië is 'geschokt' that Schoo passed over the ban on Gerwani and that existing women's organisations are in the hands of high officials' wives (p. 1).”
