Murder of Ahmed Timol, The: My Search for the Truth

By (author): Imtiaz A. Imtiaz Cajee's two-decade search for the truth about the death of his uncle Ahmed Timol, a teacher and anti-apartheid activist who died in police custody in 1971. A state inquiry originally ruled his death a suicide, but a new inquest 46 years later found he had been murdered. Spanning Johannesburg, London, Mecca and Moscow, the book traces Timol's final years and Cajee's pursuit of accountability, while questioning why so many other apartheid-era perpetrators of torture and murder were never prosecuted.
