On this white round button, "Save" appears in orange, written vertically, from bottom to top. The other text appears in black, and the number "14" is in white on a black square background. The Upington 14, including a 60-year old woman named Evelyn de Bruin, were sentenced to death on May 26, 1989 because they were present at a demonstration during which a black policeman was killed. The international campaign on their behalf was successful; the sentence was overturned in May 1991.
