Witness Q, a member of the Dunapentele Revolutionary Council, who organized and directed the Free Radio of Dunapentele from 31 October to 8 November, made a statement. The committee asked him questions about Dunapentele, the revolutionary council in the city, and the radio station he organized. Witness R, a film director, newspaper correspondent and photographer, first requested the investigation of an incident between himself and a security guard in front of the committee room. He made a statement arguing that the Hungarian government was a prisoner of the Soviets during the revolution.
