Free Nelson Mandela Campaign

The Free Nelson Mandela Campaign was a global movement advocating for the release of Nelson Mandela, a leader imprisoned for opposing apartheid, the racial segregation policy in South Africa. Initiated in the 1980s, it aimed to raise awareness about Mandela’s unjust detention and to pressure governments and institutions to support his freedom. The campaign gained international support, emphasizing the importance of ending apartheid and promoting human rights and equality. Mandela was eventually released in 1990, becoming a symbol of resistance to oppression and the fight for democracy in South Africa.
