PROTESTERS FACE TRIAL
March Through Johannesburg I (N ZP.A.-Reuter —Copyright) JOHANNESBURG. MAY 20. University students who marched through Johannesburg on Monday in defiance of a ban are to be charged, the police have announced in Johannesburg. A police spokesman said last night that 357 students would be charged under the Riotous Assemblies Act.
The marchers, a splinter group of a 2000-student rail* at the English-language Wlfwatersrand University, were protesting against the continued detention of 22 Africans under South Africa's Terrorism Act, and against the “erosion of the rule of law.”
