Biografie 📅 29 Oktober 1963 📍 Zuid-Afrika

The defence applied to have the indictment quashed; it alleged 199 acts of sabotage. The application challenged the prosecution’s legal framing and the way the state gathered and presented its case. The proceedings reveal the trial as an arena where both the apartheid government and the accused fought to define political resistance and the legitimacy of the state.
