AA News January–February 1988

The campaign to save the lives of the Sharpeville Six, who lost their appeal against the death penalty in December 1987, was one of the lead stories in this issue. AA News also condemned South Africa’s continued attacks deep inside Angola in defiance of a new UN resolution. It welcomed the attendance of a wide spread of British community organisations at the ANC’s solidarity conference held at Arusha, Tanzania in December and reported on the AAM’s first ever delegate annual general meeting held under its new constitution in Sheffield in November 1987.
