SHOOTING OF PRISONERS
PARJS, December 13,
The international committee for the liberation of international volunteers from rebel prisons in Spain states that, of the 3000 or 4000 volunteers taken prisoners during the war, only 800 are alive, the remainder having been shot.
The rebels, it is stated, shot all prisoners in the first eight months of the war, and only began to spare them after their defeat at Guadalajara, in the hope of exchanging them for Italian prisoners.
