Mr. Jason ANGULA, SWAPO's Secretary for Labour, was arrested on 14 December 1979, apparently under Proclamation AG 9. His arrest is thought to have been prompted by a statement issued by him on SWAPO's behalf attacking the Administrator General's amnesty proposals and demanding that SWAPO members who have been held in detention for over 8 months be brought before a court of law.
Mr. Angula was briefly detained in April 1978 and questioned in connection with the assassination of Chief Kapuuo. He was released after a few hours but was later re-detained under AG 26 on 24 April 1978 together with a large number of SWAPO members. He was reported to have been released in October 1978.
