Free Clive Derby-Lewis Unconditionally and Immediately

This is happening in South Africa today? I don't believe it. I thought barbarity was a thing of the past. What sort of justice can allow what has happened to Clive Derby Lewis to happen? Irrespective of what has happened since 1993, the lack of medical supervision of any prisoner in any jail in any country cannot be justified under any pretext. Irrespective of what has happened since 1993: Is this sort of behaviour the sort of behaviour that Chris Hani himself would have sanctioned? Today?
2010.
If this state-sannctioned barbarity were to be uncovered in any decent country with decent laws, then Clive Derby Lewis would, if he were found to be in similar circumstances therein, immediately and unconditionally freed
