Sharpeville massacre survivors launch legal bid for restitution in South Africa

Survivors of the 1960 Sharpeville massacre, in which at least 69 protesters were killed by apartheid-era police, have initiated legal proceedings seeking justice and restitution, as no one has ever been prosecuted. The case revives a decades-old human rights violation and tests South Africa's transitional justice mechanisms. The outcome is uncertain and could set a precedent for other apartheid-era claims.
