hgs24. Save the Sharpeville 6

Leaflet publicising a demonstration on the day of the court hearing of the Sharpeville Six’s appeal against the death sentence in February 1987. The six, five men and one woman, were sentenced to death in December 1985 after joining a demonstration at which a black deputy mayor was killed. The appeal was rejected and the six were held on death row for ten more months until they were reprieved in July 1988. The action was organised by the London AA Committee with support from trade unions and anti-racist groups.
