Abdul Quyum SAYED (29) of the Muslim News, was on 29 October sentenced to nine months' imprisonment (suspended) for issuing a pamphlet quoting the banned leader of the PAC, the late Robert Sobukwe. The pamphlet was entitled "Heroes of yesterday, martyrs of the struggle" and described the antipass law campaign which resulted in the Sharpville shootings. It was issued in March 1977.
Cape Town Regional Court said Sayed (represented by Adv. B.M. Kies) should have made sure the pamphlet was legal before printing it.
