Ex-apartheid cop petitions SCA for stay of prosecution on Timol murder

Ahmed Timol was killed in police detention in 1971 at the notorious John Vorster Square police station – later renamed Johannesburg Central police station.

“The main points of argument for the petition include, among others, that an amnesty was granted to perpetrators or alleged perpetrators of unlawful conduct of a political nature or alternatively that there was an agreement with the authorities to the effect that no prosecutions would be instituted for political offences of this nature,” Timol’s nephew, Imtiaz Cajee, said in a statement on Wednesday.
