La Suisse, 4 Apr 1976: Amnesty 'prisoners of the month' (Sri Kusnapsiah)
Swiss daily La Suisse, 4 April 1976. Amnesty International's 'prisoners of the month' column names Sri Kusnapsiah (Sri Kusnapsijah), 67, held over ten years without charge or trial. It says she fought for independence, joined a left-wing women's movement in the 1950s (banned in 1965), and was moved in 1971 from Bukit Duri prison to a women's camp in central Java; the organisation is not named as Gerwani.
Harian Swiss La Suisse, 4 April 1976. Kolom 'tahanan bulan ini' Amnesty International menyebut Sri Kusnapsiah (Sri Kusnapsijah), 67 tahun, ditahan lebih dari sepuluh tahun tanpa dakwaan atau pengadilan. Ia berjuang untuk kemerdekaan, bergabung dengan gerakan wanita kiri pada 1950-an (dilarang 1965), dan 1971 dipindah dari penjara Bukit Duri ke kamp perempuan di Jawa Tengah; organisasinya tidak disebut sebagai Gerwani.
“elle avait adhéré à un mouvement féminin de gauche, qui fut interdit, en même temps que le parti communiste et les syndicats, après le coup d'Etat manqué d'octobre 1965”
