0//6 The internees in the concentration camps. The fact that two years have elapsed since the first mass internment of Czechs in the concentrations camps in the Reichs has led me to draw the attention of Your Excellency to this my grave concern. I repeat once again my request for the release of those who have been arrested without any concrete fault, which has been made so often, since, in my opinion and in the opinion of our public, the purpose of this guarantee has long since been achieved. Of these cases, I would like to mention, in particular, the Tauser incident, which touches me particularly sensitively. Your Excellency remembers from my repeated visions this matter; in retaliation Air the flight of a delinquent was arrested on 24 March 1940 and later 145 Czech people, of whom 87 are still in the Flossenbürg concentration camp. In the first five months they enjoyed the advance of a so-called honorable detention, which was then abolished. Since many elderly people are in poor health among these interns, I ask these people, who have been in custody for so long, to set free. It is difficult for me to justify the continuation of the present condition in relation to the repeated interventions.
