ÄHuraua;, marcn a, iw rf r a f t Black leaders blast Idi Amin Eight American leaden have denounc ed Ugandan President Idi Amin in a lettei published in the February 23 New York Thues. They declared that they were “outraged" by the violation* at human nghts and the murders commited by President Idi Amin Dada of Uganda. Neither the character nor quality of oppression is altered when it is a Black tyrant who is killing other Blacks." The letter described Amin's six year rule in Uganda as "a series of savage inridenls demonstrating a total contempt (or human life." It cited estimates that from 50.000 to 300,000 Ugandans have been killed by Amin's murder squads. The Black leaders wrote that. "No one should believe th at in criticizing Amin they tue critic-icing Black Africa. The leading statesmen of Africa have de nounced his atrocities. President Julius Nyerere of Tanzania has called him a murderer,' while President Kenneth Kaunda of Zambia has termed him a racialist.' " The Black leaders closed with the appeal that “All Americans, black and white, should join in vigorously condemn ing Amin's reign of terror and should do whatever is possible to defend his vic tims hundreds of whom are exiles living in the United States." The letter was signed by Dorothy Height. President, National Council of Negro Women; Vernon Jordan. Execu tive Director, National Urban league; Eleanor Holmes Norton. N.Y.C. Commis sioner of Human Rights; William Pollard, Director. AFL-CIO Civil Rights Depart ment; Frederick O'Neal. President Asso dated Actors and Artists; A. Philip Randolph, President Emeritus.

The letter follows the arrest and death last week of Anglican Archbishop Janani Ixiwum of Uganda. The suspicion* circumstances surrounding his death have caused most observers to doubt the Ugandan government's claim 'hat the death was accidental. Church and other groups have called for an investigation of the Archbishop's death, while news papers in neighboring Tanzania have reported that, while being tortured, the Archbishop was murdered by Amin. Andrew Young, American Ambassador H O U SING A U T H O R IT Y O F PORTLAND ROSENBAUM P LA Z A to the United Nations, in a press con ference on February 17. said that the assassination of the Anglican Archbishop "has to be condemned in the court of world opinion and public opinion, and those malicious and sadistic elements in every soci ety need to be confronted, and people of goodwill within every society, including South Africa and Uganda, need to be encouraged." In describing the purpose of the letter, Bayard Rustin said. “No service is done for the freedom movements of Africa nor for the freedom of Africa's independent states by failing to criticize injustice wherever it occurs. As part of the world wide outcry against the barbarism of Amin s regime, this letter expresses the shock and anguish which I am sure is felt by every American." 1.
