Nigerian gov't to release imprisoned missionaries
LAGOS (UPI)—The government announced Tuesday it would release 32 foreign Roman Catholic priests and nuns who were sentenced to six months imprisonment last week for illegally entering Nigeria.
The government statement said that "as an act of clemency" it would deport the missionaries who were flown to Lagos Tuesday after three weeks confinement in Port Harcourt.
"Arrangements are in hand for their deportation from Nigeria by the first available flight to their respective countries," the statement said.
The priests arrived, unshaven and still wearing their white cappocks. They were met at Ikeja Airport by Archbishop John Aggey of Lagos.
Armed police escorted the group to an airport hotel where they were kept under police guard.
Government sources said the group would leave Nigeria today on a still-undetermined flight.
the former secessionist regime and those involved in its activities," the statement said.
Most of the missionaries—who worked on relief operations in the former secessionist territory of Blafra until it collapsed last month—are from Ireland.
"This action is a further demonstration of the federal government's magnanimity towards

White teachers defy integration orders
ATLANTA (UPI)—Contending they feared for their lives, white school teachers in the Washington county, Georgia, school system refused en masse Tuesday to transfer to black schools despite a federal court order.
Seventy of the 76 white teachers scheduled for transfer balked, raising doubts over the future of public education in Washington county.
The teacher transfers in Atlanta, scheduled to become effective March 5, and a still-to-be-determined reshuffling of students, has touched off student demonstrations and brought a threat by Gov. Lester Maddox that he may lead a march on Washington.
Volusia county, Florida, which is scheduled to begin busing 1,800 students Wednesday to attain the level of integration federal courts have demanded, decided in emergency session Tuesday to file an appeal with the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in New Orleans.
Tuesday was also the day Atlanta teachers learned of their new assignments, with transfers being determined by lottery. The Atlanta system transferred 1,800 teachers, 900 white and 900 blacks, to attain the 57 per cent black-43 per cent white ratio that federal courts say is needed in each school for racial balance.
Atlanta teachers gathered around television sets after the school day ended Tuesday to watch the first lottery draws, televised over the educational TV network.
most districts, but the trend has become clear in Mississippi, where whites have accepted integration only in those districts where they are at least equal in number with the blacks.
No classes were scheduled in Washington county, Georgia, Tuesday to allow time for the teacher transfers to be carried out, and thus it was not immediately known how the rebellion by teachers would affect student attendance.
There was little question, however, that a crisis had developed, and School Supt. W. B. Ouzts Jr. declared, "I cannot operate the Washington county school system without teachers. Some arrangements are going to have to be made."
