South Africa: Coffin assault case sends a message that racism will not be tolerated
27 October 2017
In response to the conclusion of the coffin assault case at the Middleburg High Court earlier today, Amnesty International South Africa’s Executive Director Shenilla Mohamed said:
“The conclusion of this grotesque case sends a clear – and welcome – message that acts of racism or discrimination will not be tolerated in South Africa.
“The government must now move with speed to finalize the Hate Crimes legislation in order to deal decisively with incidents of discrimination.”
