(IBI) CASE 190 Torture of a 17 year old Shapeville youth On February 15, 1993, Mr DT 17yrs) was arrested at a friend's house in Sharpeville "Police in a casspir and a combi came and drew guns through the windows of their vehicles and I then decided to run away....and they started shooting as I ran. As they were shooting I decided not to run any more and they arrested me. I was then taken to Vanderbijlpark police station where I was shocked At about 22 OOhrs I was taken out of the cells and back into Sharpeville where they said that I should take out firearms. At Sharpeville as I was denying any knowledge of the guns, a certain policeman said I was mad and he put a gun inside my mouth threatening to shoot me. I was then taken to Sebokeng where a bottle was put on my head and shot from my head by a white policeman. The policemen then drove with me to Sharpeville where I was shot in both thighs, and then I was taken to point out one of the ANC Youth League members who was ordered to clap (hit) me, and he did it for fear of being assaulted, and they laughed as he clapped me, and also hit me with the butt of a gun I was then taken to Vanderbijlpark hospital where I spent five days." The ANCYL member who was forced to assault Mr DT also described the incident; "The black policeman said Trap horn', meaning assault him. They were instructing me to clap Daniel. I therefore hit him with my right hand on his left cheek. Then Daniel requested that they kill him Two white policemen were manhandling Daniel, they threw him onto my bed. One of the white policemen pulled out a 9mm gun, unloaded the magazine and held it by its barrel. He said 'Jy pla die mense' (You annoy people). He then hit Daniel at a great impact on his head .... the policeman struck three blows on Daniel's head. From my looking I could realise the blows were painful. Daniel then said the weapons are at another person's house. He was crying at the times from the blows." Subsequent to his arrest and assault Mr DT was charged with armed robbery and was held in custody for two weeks. After appearing in court he was released into his parent's custody. It later emerged that Mr DT was being charged for stealing a wheelbarrow and a lawnmower. On May 10, 1993, Mr DT was found not guilty of these charges. On June 6, approximately eleven 153 policemen arrived at Mr DT's house in Sharpeville and shouted to his family inside the house that if they did not come out of the house they would all be shot. Mr DT was again arrested, this time for allegedly escaping from prison. He appeared in court on June 24 and the charges against him were withdrawn. Mr DT is sueing the police for damages. (Peace Action Report - "Alleged SAP Misconduct", 1993) CASE 191 Torture of Mr LH On September 2, 1992, Mr LH was arrested at his home in Boipatong by detectives who took him to what he has described as a stable in the veld. He says that his face was covered by a balaclava and he was shocked with an "old ring phone with two wires" on his abdomen and genitals.. He says that the torture lasted for some hours after which he was locked up in Sebokeng police station. He says that he was tortured intermittedly over the next seven days by the same methods. He appeared in court and was charged with arson. He was acquitted at trial. (IBI) CASE 192 Torture of Mr SH In September 1992, police came to his home looking for his brother (Lovers).

He was taken to Sebokeng police station where he was taken to a big room full of tyres. He was instructed to sit on a chair and his arms were fastened to the arm-rests. A piece of car inner tube was then pulled over his nose and mouth from behind, thus resticting his breathing, and was questioned about the murder of a KwaMadala resident. He was later taken to the veld where he was held by two policemen while a third assaulted him. One policeman apparently took a flying kick at Mr EM 154 causing him to fall back. Another policemen then throttled him until he lost consciousness.

He was assaulted with fists and boots and had cigarettes burnt on to his body. He is currently charged with murdering an IFP member in Boipatong. (IBI) SASOLBURG Although Sasolburg is in the Orange Free State, it is generally regarded as part of the Vaal Triangle, falling within the urban connurbation of Vereeniging & Vanderbijlpark. Often crimes committed on "the other side" of the Vaal River are investigated by Vaal Triangle Units, based in Gauteng. It is however unclear as to what criteria determine whether units from Gauteng investigate cases in the OFS jurisdiction. CASE 195 Assault and torture of three alleged car thieves Three men were assaulted and tortured by members of the South African Police following their arrest on April 23, 1991. The three men were detained at Sasolburg police station until April 25, 1991 and then at Sasolburg prison until May 10, 1991. They were charged with motor vehicle theft and were found not guilty. All three were severely assaulted at the police station and subjected to degrading beatings and torture, including electric shocks, tubing, suffocation, & strangulation.

He was allegedly kicked in the ribs whilst this was happening. The following week he was again hooded and taken to Brits police station. He alleges that he was forced to lie on his back. The pin was pulled out of a hand-grenade and Mr Kelebonye says that he was instructed to clasp the grenade between his teeth. With the grenade in his mouth wires were attached to his toes and he was subjected to electric shocks. "I screamed through my teeth, terrified that the grenade was not a dummy but really alive". Mr Kelebonye says that he was also taken to a farm where he was stripped 156 and made to stand in front of Brits policemen who appeared to be braaing and drinking beer there.

  • 6 North and South Ossetia: Old Conflicts and New Fears
    6 North and South Ossetia: Old conflicts and new fears Alan Parastaev Erman village in the high Caucasus mountains of South Ossetia PHOTO: PETER NASMYTH Summary The main source of weapons in South Ossetia during the conflict with Georgian forces in the early 1990s was Chechnya, but towards the end of the conflict arms were also obtained from Russian troops in North Ossetia. Following the end of the conflict in 1992, the unrecognised Republic of South Ossetia began to construct its own security structures. The government has made some attempts to control SALW proliferation and collect weapons from the population, as has the OSCE, though these programmes have had limited success. In North Ossetia it was much easier to acquire weapons from Russian military sources than in the South. North Ossetia fought a short war against the Ingush in 1992, and though relations between the two are now stable, North Ossetia is still very sensitive to events elsewhere in the North Caucasus. Recently, however, the increase in Russian military activity in the region has acted as a stabilising factor. Unofficial estimates of the amount of SALW in North Ossetia range between 20,000 and 50,000. 2 THE CAUCASUS: ARMED AND DIVIDED · NORTH AND SOUTH OSSETIA The years of The events at the end of the 1980s ushered in by perestroika – the move by the leader- conflict ship of the CPSU towards the democratisation of society – had an immediate impact on the social and political situation in South Ossetia and Georgia as a whole. In both Tbilisi and the South Ossetian capital Tskhinval national movements sprang to life which would in time evolve into political parties and associations.
