Toronto Daily Star, 20 Dec 1966: Indonesian Red's wife (arrest of Mrs Aidit)

Open file in Google DriveRead full text

Page 17 of the Toronto Daily Star (20 Dec 1966), a general world-news page. A short wire item headed 'Indonesian Red's wife' reports, citing the army paper Berita Yudha, the arrest of Mrs Aidit, a doctor and chairman of the Communist women's organization, accused of propaganda after the coup. The OCR is badly garbled; the arrest is taken from the file name.

Halaman 17 Toronto Daily Star (20 Desember 1966), halaman berita dunia. Berita pendek 'Indonesian Red's wife' mengutip harian militer Berita Yudha tentang penangkapan Nyonya Aidit, seorang dokter dan ketua organisasi wanita komunis, yang dituduh berpropaganda setelah kudeta. OCR sangat kacau; penangkapan diambil dari nama berkas.

“Mrs. Aidit, a doctor, was chairman of the Communist women's organization. (p. 17)”
