APLA KILLERS CONVICTED

TWO members of the Azanian People’s Liberation Army were convicted in the Bisho High Court on Monday of the 1994 murder of three Iranian nationals belonging to the Baha’i Faith church. The men claimed the crime had been politically motivated, and that they had mistook the Persians for “Boers”. The men have applied for amnesty for the attack and their application is before the Truth and Reconciliation Commission’s amnesty committee.
