AFRICAN HELD
Action By Portugal
(N.Z.P.A.-Reuter—Copyright) MBABANE (Swaziland), August 5.
Mr Neville Rubin, a former president of the National Union of South African Students, has been detained by the Portuguese authorities in Lourenco Marques. Mr Rubin, aged 28, his wife Muriel and their two-year-old son were on their way to Bechuanaland by way of Mozambique when Mr Rubin was taken to a prison cell where he is being held incommunicado.
Efforts by the British Consul-General in Lourenco Marques to see Mr Rubin had been unavailing and Mr George Thomson, the British Labour member of Parliament for Dundee East, has been asked to raise the matter with the British Government.
Mr Rubin, who holds a British passport, came to Swaziland last April on a two-year research project for London University’s Department of African and Oriental Customs. The project takes in African customary law in Swaziland, Bechuanaland and Northern Rhodesia.
