Anti-Apartheid struggle and Amnesty activists from across Africa

prisoners' of poverty. On reciveing the award Mandela said "Like
Amnesty International, I have been struggling for justice and human

as long as injustice and inequality persist in our world, none of
us can truly rest. We must become stronger still."
