The Legal Resource Centre (LRC), a human rights organization in South
Africa, has launched an independent investigation into the alleged
police shootings that killed 34 protesting workers at Marikana platinum
mine last month. The LRC says it has forensic evidence to support eye
witness testimonies that blame police brutality for the killings of
strikers who were calling for pay raises. Witnesses have said that
police shot protesters who were either trying to escape confrontations
with police or while surrendering to authorities. Tania Page reports
from the Marikana mine.
