Lucknow Sentinel, Wednesday, May 28, 1986—Page 5 Amnesty launches campaign To the Editor, Because of continuing abuses of fun- damental human rights in South Africa, Amnesty International, South Bruce Group 97 is participating in a campaign to ensure that genuine reforms will take place. Extensive violations of human rights by the South African authorities have been of concern for many years. Recently they have escalated in the wake of widespread black protest against apartheid. Prisoners of con- science are imprisoned and banned. Thousands of suspected government op- ponents have been detained without trial and many have been tortured. The death penalty is imposed frequently with over 100 executions carried out each year. Amnesty International is calling on the South African Government to take the following measures for the protection of basic human rights : 1) To release immediately all prisoners of conscience - those imprisoned for their political or religious beliefs, color, sex, ethnic origin, language or religion, who have neither used nor advocated violence. In South Africa, these include people sentenced to prison terms, detained without trial, imprisoned as conscientious objectors, banned or banished and imprisoned under the so-called pass laws, which are TO CR. discriminatory on racial grounds and lead each year to the imprisonment of many thousands of black people. 2) To abolish immediately the pass laws and all legislation which leads to imprison- ment on the basis of race. 3) To release all political detainees without delay unless they are brought to trial fairly and promptly for criminal offenses. 4), To guarantee that trials of political prisoners are conducted according to inter- nationally recognized standards of fair trial, and to review cases of previously sentenced political prisoners with a view to their release or retrial if their trials did not con- form to these standards. 5) To curb police powers of arbitrary ar- rest and detention without trial and withdraw the provisions which allow people to be held for indefinite periods of incom- municado detention. 6) To act immediately to stop torture and •turn to page 6 Dr. John Hordyk (photo by Forde Studio Inc.)
