COMMITTE EXPRESSES GRAVE CONCERN AT SOUTH AFRICA BAN ON WOMEN'S
PEACEFUL MARCH AGAINST REPRESSION
The following statement was issued today by the Acting Chairman
of the Special Committee against Apartheid, Guennadi Oudovenko
(Ukraine):
The Special Committee against Apartheid is gravely concerned at
the ban of the peaceful march organized by Women against
Repression in South Africa for 23 September 1989. The ban shows
that repression continues to be the order of the day, and that
the judiciary remains a powerful instrument to silence opponents
of apartheid. Only when the regime ceases repression and
creates the conditions conducive to a climate for negotiations
will the international community regard seriously Mr. de Klerk's
pronouncements about "a new South Africa".
The Special Committee against Apartheid once again expresses its
full support for the march and its admiration for the courageous
women who are ready to stand up to repression in their quest for
a truly non-racial and democratic society in South Africa.
