South Africa to Stop Enforcing Pass Laws and Free Detainees
President P W Botha announced a moratorium on pass law arrests and a plan for common identity documents for all races. He said detainees jailed for pass law offenses would be freed and charges dropped, as critics warned of new controls. The move comes amid years of racial policy under apartheid, with opposition voices cautious about hidden strings and a shift toward universal identity while maintaining white domination.
