Description

Trade union organiser Neil Aggett died in detention on 5 February 1982. The police claimed that he committed suicide but at a second High Court hearing held after a long campaign, the South African High Court ruled in 2022 that he was murdered by South African security police. In the photo outside South Africa House are Ron Todd, General Secretary of the transport workers union, Labour MP Alf Dubbs and (right) ANC London representative Ruth Mompati.
