Summary:
Sir Leslie Munroe presents to the Assembly the situation in Hungary to date: a long list of detainees and political prisoners; a "parody of justice" practiced by the regime and the fate of those who suffered it; a very limited amnesty that did not include people who participated in the uprising; political trials were mainly being conducted as secret trials where information regarding the cause of the proceedings was withheld; the Workers Councils were dissolved by December 1957 and Factory councils installed, in which only one third of the membership was elected by workers; labor courts were re-installed in workplaces with over 300 workers.
