I have received a complaint from Ivan Bogdanov about the arrest of his son Vladimir, aged 17, who is ill with bronchitis, for sabotage. Review the case, verify the illness, the inexperience and youth of the arrested man, and especially investigate whether the real saboteurs were the 30 employees of the Land Commissariat who refused to work, shifting the burden onto Bogdanov. Telegraph the result of the investigation to 225.
