City of London Anti-Apartheid Group At Occupy London

St Paul's Cathedral, London. Saturday 19 November 2011


 
 Singing played an important part in the four year non-stop vigil outside South Africa House by the

 City of London Anti-Apartheid group, started on 19 April 1986 and continued until the release of Nelson Mandela

 in 1990, carrying on despite over a thousand arrests and the coldest winter for years.

 They gained widespread support around the world but were attacked and disowned by the official leadership

of the Anti-Apartheid Movement, because of their support for revolutionary movements other than the ANC, and

 because the official movement wanted to avoid confrontation with the UK government. The group was expelled

from the AAM around a year before their long non-stop protest began, after carrying out a number of shorter protests.. 
 
'Sister Ruth' , a self-proclaimed nun with a flair for publicity and confused, bigoted views decided to barge in on the act 

 

 

 

Sister Ruth was convicted of religious harassment against Muslim women in Oxford St in 2006. 

In 2002 police arrested her for shouting homophobic abuse at Zagreb's first Gay Pride march  

 

She claims to be persecuted by the police and the royal family
