These APLA Freedom Fighter members are found mainly at

Mthatha,

Kutama/Sinthumule,

East

London,

Leeukop,

Johannesburg, St Albans, Groenpunt, Boksburg, Zondewater,

Pretoria Central, Mangaung/Grootvlei correctional centres. As
PAC Members and Branches including as their families
we are aware that some of them being relocated from
one prison to another in secrecy, we also demand
immediate stoppage of relocation of APLA Freedom
Fighters.
We believe that:
As PAC it is our understanding that the United Nations declared Apartheid
as a crime against humanity, therefore APLA Freedom Fighters we part of
Just Struggle for Freedom and Democracy. Our believe is premised on the
fact that in 1966, the General Assembly labelled apartheid as a crime
against humanity (resolution 2202 A (XXI) of 16 December 1966) and in
1984 the Security Council endorsed this determination (resolution 556
(1984) of 23 October 1984).
The Apartheid Convention was the ultimate step in the condemnation of
apartheid as it not only declared that apartheid was unlawful because it
violated the Charter of the United Nations, but in addition it declared
apartheid to be criminal. United Nations resolution came into force on 18 July
1976. As of August 2008, it has been ratified by 107 States.
Article 2 defines the crime of apartheid which shall include similar
policies and practices of racial segregation and discrimination as practised
in southern Africa as covering inhuman acts committed for the
purpose of establishing and maintaining domination by one racial group of
persons over any other racial group of persons and systematically
oppressing them.
