Organisatiegeschiedenis 📅 29 Maart 1961 📍 Zuid-Afrika

The acquittal of the remaining defendants ended a state prosecution that had sought to criminalise the Congress Alliance's multiracial opposition to apartheid. The case disrupted organisers through arrests, travel restrictions and years in court, but it did not establish that resistance was unlawful. The campaign depended on a broad network of activists, lawyers, families and supporters.
