We're back again with loads of good stuff after two weeks in Africa. Top
stories:

Arrest and Interrogation
Seven Years in a South African Prison ­ the fortieth anniversary
Forty years ago, South African journalist Hugh Lewin was arrested by
security police for being a member of the African Resistance Movement (ARM),
responsible for acts of sabotage against the nation¹s apartheid government.
After serving seven years as a political prisoner, Lewin went into exile in
Britain where he wrote his acclaimed book, Bandiet: Seven Years in a South
African Prison. Our 48-page excerpt from the recently republished version of
the book ­ BANDIET Out of Jail ­ contains the first chapter of the original
book, plus a new chapter and two of his prison poems, including the
evocative TOUCH. Download the excerpt at:
