This is to be signed by everyone who believes in justice for one is justice for all. Eugene de Kock was the only person who was convicted and served 20 years in prison for crimes committed by all sides in the struggle for freedom. He has been released o
For us to leave our past behind us and really move ahead in a spirit of reconciliation, we have to forgive the past and move on to a more forgiving and compassionate future. Eugene de Kock is the ONLY South African tried,sentenced and served 20 years for crimes against humanity after 45 years of Apartheid. He was employed by the previous Apartheid government and executed orders handed to him by his superiors. Not one of his superiors or colleagues stood trial or were sentenced. The truly guilty were not tried. Eugene de Kock has been given parole. This is conditional release and as Mandela said, conditional release is not freedom, it is half-freedom. We want total freedom for Eugene de Kock based on compassionate grounds only.
