Administrative history
The International Defence and Aid Fund for Southern Africa started its activities in the aftermath of the 1956 Treason Trial as a support network for the 156 trialists and their families. Later in 1965 it became an international organisation, which provided outstanding financial support for the defence of many political activists and for the families of political detainees and prisoners inside South Africa. The organisation published numerous material in the form of photographs, books and films about the Apartheid system in South Africa.
