| description | Records of this digital collection were assembled to document the work of the UN Special Committee on the Problem of Hungary established on January 10, 1957 by the United Nations General Assembly for the purpose of investigating the 1956 Hungarian revolution.
Principal contributor(s): United Nations. General Assembly
The draft report gives a list of arrestees and the length of sentences. The list includes political activists, intellectuals, labor leaders and people who opposed the coerced collectivization drive. The repression persists: people's control committees, social courts and workers guards, all obedient tools of the regime placed and kept in power by military forces of the Soviet Union. Hungarian rulers are unable to maintain their position within their land without foreign military support. The question of Hungary, which has now been before the General Assembly for almost five years, is fundamentally a question of the repression of the right of self-determination. |
