WAAROOR CLIVE DERBY-LEWIS LOSGELAAT BEHOORT TE WORD
DISKRIMINASIE TEEN EN ONGELYKHEID VAN BLANKE GEVANGENES
Op 14 Mei 2014 is die volgende klagte by die Menseregtekommissie aanhangig gemaak aangaande die onmenslike diskriminasie wat teen Blanke gevangenes en by name mnr. Clive Derby Lewis, toegepas word. Ons glo dat ons klagte is billik en geregverdig. Ditr is egter ’n kenmerk van hierdie regering om nie ontvangs van briewe te erken nie. Die dokument is vanselfsprekend en behoef geen verdere verduideliking nie.
Langs hierdie we gook groot dank en waardering aan Front Nasionaal vir hulle hoogsgewaardeerde insette en betrokkenheid. Dit is die seining van Boer=Republikeine dat dit die plig is van elkeen wat hom met ons politieke gevangenes identifiseer om alles in ons vermoë te doen om ons mense se lot tot die uiterste vesag. Ag daar vir Clive en al die ander manne uitkoms kom- Piet Rudolph, Boere-Republikeine.

Mr. Commissioner,
HUMAN RIGHTS AND THE DISCRIMINATION AGAINST WHITE POLITICAL PRISONERS
With reference to the above please allow me to complain to you about the obvious inequality and discrimination being practiced by the government between black and white prisoners in South Africa.
I refer you to the matters of messrs. Shabir Sheik and Jackie Selebi. Both of them were sentenced to long prison sentences but on account of their health conditions both served a very small part of their sentence. Let me hasten to assure you that I do not begrudge the two gentlemen their parole which was granted to them for amongst others, obvious humane reasons.
Although having been assured through the media of the terminal illness of at least one of the gentlemen, quite sometime ago he was still alive and well and still capable to play gholf.
On the other hand Mr. Clive Derby Lewis, a white political prisoner who has served more than twenty years of his sentence, who became eligible for parole and who on account of his terminal illness, applied for medical parole which was refused. Mr. Derby-Lewis is on top of that an old man. He is still being detained. Can we please be informed of the rationale behind all this?
Let me also inform you that Mr. Nelson Mandela once wrote that to judge the humaneness of a country, one must look at the treatment of it’s prisoners. He himself was released by his jailers and allowed to continue his political life. The same with the communist, the late Mr. Bram Fischer, who terminally ill, was released and allowed to die outside prison.
Why are these white prisoners being treated in this inhumane fashion? Surely it is because they are white. There can not be any other reason for this.
The same applies to the members of the Boeremag. Honourable gentlemen who protested the discrimination meted out to white people. Some of them were detained for over 11 years awaiting trial. They were only recently allowed the privilege of receiving contact visits from friends and family.
Sir, in conclusion please allow me to request you to address this obvious iniquity against people who cannot due to circumstances beyond their control, plead their own case.
Yours faithfully
Piet Rudolph : Boer Republicans.”
