Rafiq Rohan

I worked as a journalist during the apartheid years and various publications and as a Senior Editor at Al Jazeera and Editor-in-Chief at Tunisia Live. I was convicted of 21 counts of terrorism under apartheid which meant I had to effectively serve 15 years in prison. I was released in 1991 during a hunger strike and amnesty process after Mandela was released and returned to mainstream journalism. I’m currently a freelance journalist.
