Anti-apartheid leaders condemn cover-up over police death squads
In Johannesburg anti-apartheid church leaders criticized President F W de Klerk for rejecting an independent inquiry into police death squads. They said the decision grants police license to kill and denies justice. De Klerk argued a judicial inquiry would be lengthy and that the regular system suffices. Several officers will be investigated and five have sought suspension pending legal action.
