"Free Clive Derby-Lewis"

I should have been released one year ago today, but certain
politicians have succeeded in keeping me locked up in prison
unlawfully.

Justice is not available to those in South Africa who are deemed to be
"from the wrong political order". Notwithstanding the price I have
paid in prison time for being convicted of killing Chris Hani, I have
been "left to rot in jail" by individual ANC politicians and some
bureaucrats, who have taken it upon themselves to effectively block my
parole by political means.

People from across the entire political spectrum, from far left to far
right including scores of black and white prisoners, tell me that
"everyone knows" I am being kept in prison regardless of the merits of
my parole recommendation and that if I had been anyone else there
would have been justice for me.

This parole was recommended by the parole board who recommended that I
be released on 15 October 2008. Now, one year later, I am still in
prison with little hope of being treated fairly.
