Ashley Kriel, a young coloured South African activist, was killed by police on July 9 1987, for his role in advocating anti-apartheid actions. Upon his release from prison in February 1990, Nelson Mandela acknowledged Ashley Kriel's sacrifice for the freedom struggle. In his memory, the Institute for Justice and Reconciliation and the University of the Western Cape created the annual Ashley Kriel Memorial Youth Lecture to highlight youth leadership challenges throughout the country. Ashley Kriel's contribution to the struggle for freedom and human rights still inspires South Africans. [ http://www.thestar.co.za/index.php?fSectionId=&fArticleId=vn20070710073841543C445931]
