ABERDEEN SAYS: RELEASE MANDELA! LOCK UP_VERWOERD by Robert Q. Gray
Aberdeen, scene of bitter argument about the boycott, made its protest against the infamous sentences upon Mandela and his comrades on June 20th, A demonstration was held on a prominent street corner; demons= trators - mostly students - gave out leaflets, and held placards. Reactions varied = from the woman who told me “Treas.on's an awful thing", who expressed agreement with our slogan "Release Mandela! Lock up Verwoerd!" and took an Anti-Apartheid list of South African goods. It is to be hoped that further efforts will be made in Aberdeen to maintain public awareness}; a boycott is, after all, only a beginning - and not the be-all and end-all of opposition to apartheid,
