The World : Cape Town Protest Routed

South African riot police charged into a crowd and broke up an anti-apartheid candlelight protest by 600 white and mixed-race demonstrators in a white suburb of Cape Town, officials said. Two whites and a mixed-raced man were arrested, but no injuries were immediately reported. Meantime, police in Cape Town released 12 anti-government activists from seven weeks of detention, but two of those freed were served with orders restricting their movements and barring them from taking part in activities of the United Democratic Front, the largest of South Africa’s anti-apartheid groups.
