pic8807. Protest against the banning of the UDF

Eighteen people prominent in British public life staged a symbolic protest against the banning of the UDF and 16 other anti-apartheid organisations in February 1988. AAM President Trevor Huddleston and TUC General Secretary Norman Willis met British Foreign Secretary Geoffrey Howe to ask him to protest to the South African government. The bannings effectively outlawed all non-violent opposition to apartheid within South Africa.
