The following statement was issued by the United Secretariat of the Fourth International September 23.

At the opening of this first meeting of the United Secretariat after the Trelew massacre, the leadership of the Fourth International in behalf of all revolutionists throughout the world honors the memory of the comrades of the ERP-PRT and the comrades of the other organizations who were vilely murdered by the Argentine military dictatorship.

The reaction of the Argentine revolutionary youth and the vanguard of the labor movement against this massacre proves that these comrades did not fight and die in vain.

The United Secretariat expresses its solidarity with the PRT in its struggle against the repression of which it is a victim and appeals to all the sections to intensify their campaign in defense of the persecuted Argentine revolutionists, a campaign that has already achieved results with the asylum granted first in Chile, and then in Cuba, to Comrade Santucho and his comrades.
