History

This organisation was formed as a multi-racial group of parents in support of their children who were kept in detention, often without trial. The DPSC operated on national level under extreme conditions of State repression, such as banning orders and detentions. Although the DPSC did not operate in isolation, the sheer numbers of those who were detained was overwhelming. Some of the earlier material of the organisation appears to have been lost in the Khotso house bombing in 1988, where the DPSC offices were located.
