Treason Trial, 1956-1961

On December 5, 1956, hundreds of policemen throughout the country descended on the homes of leaders of the
Congress Alliance and arrested them. One hundred and fifty-six people - 104 Africans, 23 Whites, 21 Indians and 8
Coloureds - were charged with high treason, a capital offence in South Africa. The trial lasted until 1961, when all
of the defendants were found not guilty. Some of the defendants were later convicted in the Rivonia Trial in 1964.
