Many hundreds of trade unionists are among the thousands of people detained by the South African authorities. Despite the efforts of the South African Government to prevent the world finding out what's happening, over 100 names have alread reached this country. More people are being arrested every day. They have not been charged with any crime. They have been denied access to lawyers. And their families have no information concerning their whereabouts. With the situation in South Africa continuing to deteriorate, there is now a genuine concern for their safety. Which is why we are publising their names.
