Czechoslovak authorities arrested 48 members of the country’s human rights movement, Charter 77, after breaking up a clandestine film show in a Prague apartment, emigre sources said in Vienna.

The arrests followed the release of Charter 77’s first-ever appeal for the withdrawal of all Soviet and American nuclear weapons and military units from Europe and the dissolution of power blocs on the Continent.
