Truth And Reconciliation Hearings

NPR
Published April 14, 1996 at 11:00 PM CDT

Sue Simpson reports from Johannesburg on the opening day of testimony before South Africa's Truth and Reconciliation Commission. The commission will hear from victims of human rights absues committed during apartheid as part of a process designed to heal the nation's wounds. The panel also has the power to grant amnesty to those who confess to their crimes. It has drawn criticism from both ends of the political spectrum. Some say the commission should not grant amnesty, others say it will ignore the crimes committed by the opponents of apartheid.
