A message was sent by the Chairman of the Special Committee against Apartheid, B. Akporode Clark (Nigeria), to the Midwest Anti-Apartheid Strategy Conference to be held in Kalamazoo, Michigan and to the Student Anti-Apartheid Strategy Conference to be held at the Columbia University Law School, New York. Chairman Clark expresses concern about arrests and detentions, bannings, and ill-treatment of Africans and the torture and deaths of political prisoners and detainees in South Africa, which are continuing to increase. Anti-apartheid student groups in the United States are particularly important because the U.S. plays a decisive role not only in implementing United Nations resolutions against the apartheid policies of South Africa, but also in bringing about effective internal changes in South Africa through cessation of further collaboration with it in the economic, nuclear, security and other fields. By their campaigns for divestment from South Africa and their activities against military and nuclear collaboration with South Africa, U.S. student groups are mobilizing their societies to press for compliance with UN resolutions and to live up to its proclaimed moral professions against racism and apartheid.
