March 6, 1978 ----A Catholic Church report documenting the use Of torture, repressioh and propaganda by the white Minority regime of Ian Smith in Rhodesia is being published in the U. S. Its American release coincides with the trial scheduled for March r of three members of the Catholic Commission for Justice and Peace in Rhodesia, who are charged with subversion for the pre paration and publication of this report. A fourth member of the Commission, Sister Janice McLaughlin of Pittsburgh, Pa., was arrested for three weeks and deported September 21, 1977 for her role in assembling the controversial document. "Rhodesia: The Propaganda War" helps to illustrate why Smith's internal settlement, which leaves the oppressive army and military forces intact, will not be acceptable to the majority of the population who have suffered at the hands of these forces. The orginal papers comprising the report were circulated within Rhodesia in mimeographed form during July and August, 1977. On August 31 a team of eight police officers searched the Commistion's office, confiscated the files, detained Sr. Janice at Chikurubi prison outside Salisbury and charged three other members with publishing material "likely to cause fear, alarm or despondency," and of violating the Official Secrets Act. The Catholic Institute for International (more) Page 2 Relations in London compiled the papers and published them in booklet form on September 21 after long deliberation between lawyers and church officials whether the publication would further endanger the four Commission members charged with its preparation.

  • Interview with Ted Lockwood
    Interview with Ted Lockwood "It was very easy to sort of say, well, the liberation struggle, they're the heroes. They are the good people, and I don't want to hear anything bad about them. The more I stayed with it, the more I felt sympathy for everybody else. How difficult it is, really, to have a peaceful society as well as a just society come out of this." — Ted Lockwood Introduction Lawyer, Episcopal priest, and activist Edgar (Ted) Lockwood is from a comfortably well- off and conventionally conservative New England family background. He went to law school after serving on a Navy destroyer during World War II. After only a few years as a lawyer, he went back to school to study theology in 1957, at the age of 37. From the beginning, he says, his activist theological convictions were tied to the issue of racism. His participation in the Selma-Montgomery march in 1964, as part of a delegation who flew down from Massachusetts in response to the call for support by Martin Luther King Jr., solidified the commitment. But it wasn't until the end of the 1960s that he became involved with international African issues, beginning with an Institute for Policy Studies research project on the policies of church denominations for handling their investments. Lockwood soon became one of the persistent agitators within the Episcopal Church for full economic disengagement from apartheid, working with his close friend Bill Johnston of the Episcopal Churchmen for South Africa.[1] He made his first trip to South Africa in 1971 as an observer when the South African regime placed Gonville ffrench-Beytagh, the Anglican dean of the cathedral in Johannesburg, on trial under the Terrorism Act.
