England, UK. 9.3.1988. London. Women from the ANC Women’s Section and AAM Women’s Committee demonstrating in support of Teresa Ramashola to mark 8 March, International Women’s Day. Teresa was one of the Sharpeville Six, who were sentenced to death in December 1985 because they were present at a protest where black collaborators were killed. In December 1987 the South African Appeal Court rejected their appeal for clemency. SATIS responded with a campaign of letters and postcards asking the British government to intervene. After huge international protests the death sentence was commuted in July 1988.
