AA News November 1988

Elections for segregated local councils in South Africa’s townships were a propaganda fraud, alleged this issue of AA News. In its editorial, the newspaper again focused on the implementation of UN resolution 435 on Namibia and on the need for pressure on the apartheid government to stop the hanging of political prisoners. It announced the formation of a liaison group to coordinate action by Western European anti-apartheid groups to press for European Economic Community sanctions against South Africa. The newspaper exposed the detention and torture of children in South Africa and Namibia and the increase in the number of women detainees.
