Case register

One case, every record that carries it

The same amnesty case number appears on the hearing transcript and on the Amnesty Committee's later decision. This register gathers those records together, so a case can be followed from the evidence given in the hall to how it was finally resolved.

1,510 cases carry a decision and 864 carry a hearing transcript. Where the archive holds only one side of a case, that is what the register shows — a gap here is a gap in the public record, not a case that was never heard.

These records describe gross human rights violations. Names are published only as they already appear in the public SABC/SAHA archive, and every record links back to the original document.
