Last apartheid political prisoners STILL in jail!

Harare 3 | 09.04.2002 22:36

The last three political prisoners of the apartheid era are still held at a maximum security prison in Zimbabwe to this day.

 http://free-harare3.org/

This site is dedicated to increasing public awareness of the plight of the last three political prisoners from the South African apartheid era, in the hope that public opinion worldwide may help deliver these men from an appalling existence in a prison which breaches every international Human Rights convention, and many national statutes.

Philip Conjwayo, Mike Smith and Kevin Woods have been incarcerated in Chikurubi Maximum Security Prison in Zimbabwe since 1988, following convictions based on evidence that included confessions made under extreme duress. For this reason alone, their convictions would be deemed unsafe by every judicial system in the civilised world.

During their period of imprisonment, they have suffered the most barbaric and inhuman treatment, which, even if they were guilty as charged, is unwarranted.

Whatever your political opinions about recent South African history, we are sure that you will be aghast at what you will learn from exploring our site.

Racist scum can rot in dungeon

Lets have a look at the web site:

"On 18th November 1988, Agents Woods, Smith and Conjwayo were sentenced to death for the car bomb attack in Bulawayo. Agents Woods, Smith and Bawden were also sentenced to 40 years imprisonment for the car bombing of another ANC facility in Harare. On 28th October 1993, on appeal, Agents Woods, Smith and Conjwayo had their death sentence commuted to life imprisonment, and Bawden's 40 years imprisonment to 25 years imprisonment."

Nothing on the site suggests that they did not do these acts.

South Africans may have gone through a process of "Truth and Reconciliation", but does that mean that Zimbabwe should have to free some state sponsored racist thugs who planted a bomb in their country?

Let them rot and spend your energy on something worthwile instead.

So ANC men who bomb bars and shopping centres killing hundreds of innocent civilians are entitled to be set free and take part in the TRC, but Agents attacking terrorists in Zimbabwe aren't???

And the racist comment about Afrikaners, why the double standards, I take it you claim not be racist?

To put you lot to shame, Nelson Mandela wrote to Mugabe personally to plead that these men take part in the healing process in South Africa, but this was ignored.

Have you read about the apalling conditions in their prison? These men don't deserve this. It's 100s of times worse than Camp X Ray.

I'd like to express my admiration for Jack's humble servility and loyality to his social superiors and betters, these prisoners must be released immediately, these fine specimens of afrikaneers police service, were only trying to protect their property, swimming pool, and financial interests from lower class tin shack maurading black shanty town dewellers. Try to put yourself in the shoes of these protectors of our aryan blood race, when they found out they could no longer open fire, on poor black township school children, what else could these policemen do, i ask you, but try to blow up these black people instead. We all know that these black/brown/yellow skinned people are trying to steal our jobs and our wimin, also them bloody irish catholics are stealing our jobs, and wimin. Even in their own countries these people are stealing our jobs, houses and wimin. Many a time my ex squaddie father, poor but loyal has expressed disgust at the physical prowess of these people who are trying to pollute our aryan race. These unrefined people who have been scientifically proven to be inferior must learn to know their place in our world as a person of your servility and loyalty towards your betters knows your social position. We thank you for your humble servility maybe some day you will accepted into polite society and be able to bow down before your blueblooded racial superiors.
