UN Group Fears Executions Will Bring Reprisals
A UN commission expressed concern that British executions of three condemned Irgun members could trigger reprisals and hinder the commission’s work. A resolution reflecting the body’s stance was drafted at a secret meeting and sent to UN Secretary General Trygve Lie, along with an appeal from the mothers of the condemned youths. The commission cannot intervene directly, as the case lies outside its jurisdiction. The condemned are Meir Kaplan, Absalom Heboch, and Jacob Weiss, linked to an Acre Prison escape. Concurrently, an attempted kidnapping by five individuals, described as Jewish extremists, occurred during the conference.
