Sharpeville massacre survivors launch legal bid for restitution in South Africa
BBC Africa·ZA·about 21 hours ago
A group of victims has filed a lawsuit against the South African government over the 1961 Sharpeville massacre, in which 91 protesters were killed. This is part of a broader wave of litigation seeking accountability for apartheid-era crimes. The case's legal viability and potential for reparations remain uncertain, but it could set a precedent for other apartheid-era claims.
