The apartheid state is steadily increasing its repression, and ~to attempt to mask the actions of the police, the military, vigilante squads and the enormous battery of implements it possesses - is pursuing an even greater censorship effort to prevent South Africans and the world popu lace from learning the extent of its depradations. Pretoria's tightening of the screws, far from giving the impression of 'stability', by its actions displays its fears and assures that the wide spread resistance is alive and still strong. Detentions are one Pretorian method. Herewith are some efforts we in the outside world can join in effecting our opposition to the repression in South Africa and in sustaining ~he resistance: Free South Africa's Children.
