AA News June 1985

Britain was increasingly isolated by the global move to impose sanctions against South Africa, argued AA News. The issue featured reports of anti-apartheid action from local AA groups all over Britain and on the dozens of British local authorities who had declared themselves to be apartheid-free zones. Inside South Africa, the UDF was organising mass non-violent action, while its leaders were on trial for calling for support for the Freedom Charter. A special report highlighted the strike wave in the eastern Cape and other industrial centres.
