How did desmond tutu die

Background - "The Road to Reconciliation."

South Africa experienced numerous human rights challenges during the apartheid era. The White-dominated government committed serious atrocities against the Black majority. A number of brutal measures were adopted by the regime to deal with political activists and other "offenders."

Cases in point include the ruthless handling of the Sharpeville protests (1960 and 1984), the Soweto riots (1976) among other resistance activities. Because the police sometimes resorted to the use of live ammunition, a number of people (both children and adults) were either maimed or fatally wounded during the disturbances. Some forms of punishment meted out to opponents of the regime included torture, detention, imprisonment and banishment of their organisations.
