Biografie 📅 9 Oktober 1963 📍 Zuid-Afrika

Mandela appeared at the Palace of Justice in Pretoria with ten co-accused. The state charged them in connection with sabotage and the attempt to overthrow apartheid. These were allegations in a political prosecution, not a neutral description of the movement. The trial became a platform for the accused and their lawyers to contest the racial legal order and explain the political conditions that shaped resistance.
