Joint Campaign against the Repression of Trade Unionists
London, United Kingdom
1990
A red noose appears in the middle of the button, with "NO apartheid Executions" to the right of the noose. The other text appears in black around the top of a round, yellow button. Four railway workers were sentenced to death after a strike at the South African Transport Service in 1987. They were alleged to have taken part in the killing of four non-strikers. This badge (or button) was produced by the Joint Campaign against the Repression of Trade Unionists, which was set up by the Anti-Apartheid Movement and leading British trade unions to campaign for the release of South African trade unionists.
