— Miklós_Duray_, a leading member of Czechoslovakia’s Hungarian minority and a Charter 77 signatory, was again arrested on May 11, apparently because of his work, in defense of the cultural and educational rights of Czechoslovakia’s ethnic minorities. Duray had been put on trial in February 1983 for „hostile acts against the state,” While no verdict was given, the charges against him were never dropped. It is not presently known whether new charges have been made against him, or when and where his next trial will be held.
