l'Unità (PCI daily), 6 May 1966, p. 11 (PDF page). Dozens of PCI, PSI and PSIUP deputies and senators send a letter to the Indonesian embassy in Rome asking Sukarno's government to stop the massacres, executions and mass arrests of leftist leaders and thousands of militants by security forces and army. Gerwani is not named; the rest of the page covers China, Vietnam and other news.

l'Unità (harian PCI), 6 Mei 1966, hlm. 11. Puluhan anggota parlemen PCI, PSI dan PSIUP mengirim surat ke kedutaan Indonesia di Roma agar pemerintah Sukarno menghentikan pembantaian, eksekusi dan penangkapan massal pemimpin kiri dan ribuan militan oleh aparat keamanan dan tentara. Gerwani tidak disebut; sisa halaman memuat berita Tiongkok, Vietnam dan lainnya.

“p. 11: letter protests 'the capital executions, the organised violence, the mass persecutions' and asks Italian-opinion-backed 'concrete proofs' of an end to arbitrary acts.”
