Description

Mailing to raise money for the work of the International Defense and Aid Fund for Southern Africa (IDAF). The mailing includes a quote by Archbishop Desmond Tutu on CBS-TV. The mailing says even the mass media have been reporting on the detention, torture, and death of children at the hands of the South African government. The mailing says the South African government is detaining thousands of children; a report by the Detainees' Parents Support Committee revealed in December that 8,000 of about 24,000 people detained since June 12 were juveniles. The mailing discusses apartheid, prisons, hospitals, and morgues.
