You are most welcome to come along to meet and listen to Albie Sachs at the launch of his new book, The Strange Alchemy of Life and Law. For over 50 years Albie Sachs has been one of South Africa’s leading human rights lawyers and campaigners. As a young barrister he defended people charged under racist statutes and repressive security laws, many facing the death sentence. He himself was raided by the security police, subjected to banning orders restricting his movement and eventually placed in solitary confinement without trial for two prolonged spells of detention. He spent 22 years in exile, studying and teaching law in England and in Mozambique. In 1988 he was blown up by a bomb placed in his car in Maputo by South African security agents, losing an arm and the sight of an eye.
