Secret police In Aust.’
NZPA-AAP Perth Secret police loyal to Romania’s executed former ruler, Nicolae Ceausescu, are working in Australia, according to Romanians who have migrated to Perth. At a rally in Perth yesterday, about 150 members of Western Australia’s Romanian community and their supporters called for. the secret police to be deported. The Romanians called on the
Western Australian Government for protection and asked it to order the state’s police to find and disarm Ceausescu’s agents. In a letter to the State Premier, Peter Dowding, they asked for information on the secret police to be passed to the Federal Government so they could be deported to Romania.
Demonstrators also condemned a Western Australian iron-ore magnate, Lang Hancock, for his
business dealings with the Ceausescu Government. A World Freedom League spokesman, Peter Cekanauskas, said Romanians living in Western Australia had been beaten up and threatened with death.
He said the secret police were also believed to have orchestrated the break-up by thugs of an October meeting of Romanians at a North Perth community centre.
