Ex-official: In 1962, the CIA Helped Jail Mandela

People seem to forget exactly why he was arrested. Mandela was the head of UmKhonto we Sizwe, (MK), the terrorist wing of the ANC and South African Communist Party. He had pleaded guilty to 156 acts of public violence including mobilizing terrorist bombing campaigns, which planted bombs in public places, including the Johannesburg railway station. Many innocent people, including women and children, were killed by Nelson Mandela’s MK terrorists.

Read his indictment, for more information. He never rejected any of the claims made against him. In fact, South African President P.W. Botha had, on a number of occasions, offered Nelson Mandela freedom from prison, if he would only renounce terrorist violence. He never did. Most people think he was locked up for leaving the country illegally or for a bad passport. This is a white washed version of events.

If you think he was justified or not, the fact remains that he wasn't some peaceful Ghandi 2.0 figure that everyone is making him out to be.
