Open file in Google DriveRead full text

Swiss regional daily, 15 Feb 1966: the special military court trying PKI leader Njono opened the previous day. Njono's sole defence counsel is Mrs Trees Soenito, 50, daughter of a former Dutch official and wife of a jailed leftist leader, who says she was appointed only on Saturday after other lawyers declined. The text does not link her to Gerwani; the sweep lists her as a member name.

Harian regional Swiss, 15 Februari 1966: mahkamah militer luar biasa yang mengadili pemimpin PKI Njono dibuka sehari sebelumnya. Satu-satunya pembela Njono ialah Ny. Trees Soenito (50), putri mantan pejabat Belanda dan istri seorang pemimpin kiri yang dipenjara; ia ditunjuk Sabtu setelah pengacara lain menolak. Teks tidak mengaitkannya dengan Gerwani; penyisiran mencatatnya sebagai nama anggota.

“L'accusé est défendu par un seul avocat, Mme Trees Soenito, âgée de 50 ans”
