The Life of Shanthini Naidoo

Despite the harsh conditions, Naidoo never gave up hope and continued to resist the apartheid regime.
In 1990, Naidoo was released from prison after 14 years of imprisonment. She continued to work for justice and human rights, and became a prominent advocate for the Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC),a body set up to investigate human rights abuses committed during the apartheid era.
