Regarding this class of so-called
political prisoners, as they are termed
by those who are demanding their re-

no real reason why they should be
treated any differently than any other

the fact that many Of them, as well as

outside actually believe, and are sim

violated no just law and were strictly
within their constitutional rights in
their public utterances, which have
been found to be in violation of the

In reaching his decision regarding
