Blanco's incarceration is a blow to progress; his release would be an important step towards freedom and liberation for the common man not only in Peru but everywhere.
CHICAGO LATIN-AMERICAN GROUP SOLIDARIZES WITH HUGO BLANCO
{The following message from John Rossen of the Circuito Latino de Cines was sent to a meeting held in support of Hugo Blanco at the Friday Night Socialist Forum in Chicago February 24. ]
Dear Friends,
The progressive Latin-Americans with whom I am in touch support fully the campaign of solidarity with Hugo Blanco, the imprisoned fighter for the rights of Peruvian peasants. .
They realize fully that the fight to defend and to free Hugo Blanco is closely related to their own struggles against discrimination, for the independence of Puerto Rico and for an end to U.S. imperialist domination and exploitation of all the peoples of the hemisphere. °
They are prepared to cooperate fully in any campaigns to publicize the case gt Hugo Blanco and to win his release.
On their behalf I enclose a modest contribution toward the campaign.
' Sincerely,
John. Rossen
