摘要

这是一个关于一家小杂志社和南非警察特别部门之间决斗的故事。南非政府坚称他们有新闻自由。因此，他们希望避免彻底的审查。他们希望他们能让《新非洲人》放弃并闭嘴。司法部利用特别处以骚扰的方式进行审查——警察突袭、没收设备、销毁杂志、恐吓印刷商，并作出淫秽的判决，但在上诉中被驳回。其中一名编辑让另一名编辑跳过挪威货船的船舷，也逃到了加拿大。随后，他们在英国重新创办了该杂志，并将免费拷贝偷偷送到南非。

The South African Special Branch v The New African 1962–64: censorship by harassment of a radical journal

ABSTRACT This is the story of a duel between a small magazine and the South African police Special Branch. The South African government maintained they had a free press. They therefore wanted to avoid outright censorship. They hoped that they could make The New African give up and shut up. The Ministry of Justice used the Special Branch to censor by harassment – police raids, confiscation of equipment, destruction of copies of the magazine, intimidation of printers, and a verdict of obscenity, which was turned down on appeal. One editor enabled the other editor to escape on a Norwegian cargo boat to Canada by jumping over the side of the boat to escape going to Canada as well. They then restarted the journal in Britain and slipped free copies into South Africa.
