Abdullah Harun, one of the symbols of South African Muslims and known as Imam Abdullah, gave a great struggle against the apartheid regime of the period. Imam Abdullah, who was targeted by government forces for his resistance, was detained on May 28, 1969 and charged with terrorism. Imam Abdullah was in solitary confinement for more than 100 days and was subjected to tortured interrogations.
HE WAS ONE OF THE SYMBOL NAMES AGAINST RACISM
Abdullah, who died while in police custody on September 27, 1969, became one of the symbols against racism in the African continent. In the commemoration of the ‘50th Anniversary of Imam Abdullah's Martyrdom’, his son demanded that a lawsuit be filed against Abdullah's martyrdom, but this request was finally met. It is learned that the case regarding the murder of Imam Abdullah will be heard in the coming days, and as a result of the said trial, it is demanded that Imam Abdullah’s honor be restored.
