At the time, Namibia (then called South West Africa) was under South African rule, and SWAPO was leading the struggle for independence. The group accused some of its own members of espionage on behalf of the South African regime, and sent hundreds (by some estimates, thousands) of these alleged \"spies\" to detention camps, where they were brutally mistreated, tortured, and killed. Survivors of the prison camps were released in 1989, and Namibia went on to gain independence in 1990 with SWAPO as the ruling party.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\" class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: 'Candara',sans-serif; mso-no-proof: yes;\"\u003eThis broadside appears to be unrecorded.
