Open file in Google DriveRead full text

Eastern Sun (Singapore), 7 Jan 1971 (lead snippet only). Reports that an Indonesian Communist leader, Sukatno, former chairman of an organisation (cut off), said at his trial that it is wrong to accuse the PKI of masterminding the 1965 coup. No woman or Gerwani member is named; the catalogue's 'Sri Sukatno' hit is unverified and may only reflect the name Sukatno.

Eastern Sun (Singapura), 7 Januari 1971 (hanya cuplikan awal). Melaporkan bahwa pemimpin komunis Indonesia, Sukatno, mantan ketua sebuah organisasi (terpotong), menyatakan dalam sidangnya bahwa keliru menuduh PKI sebagai dalang kudeta 1965. Tidak ada perempuan atau anggota Gerwani disebut; temuan 'Sri Sukatno' dalam katalog belum terverifikasi dan mungkin hanya nama Sukatno.
