Twenty persons, including many SWAPO leaders and members, are known to be still under restriction orders which circumscribe their movements and prevent them from taking part in political activities. The majority of the banned persons released in 1980 after spells in detention have had restriction orders served on them on their release. Others, notably Nathanael Maxuiliili, have been banned for much longer, while others have had their restrictions lifted temporarily to allow them to study abroad. Below is a list of those known to be under restriction orders, taken from the August 1983 issue of Information, the newsLETTER of the Namibian Council of Churches.
