December 1975 - Scandal Of The Detention Camps - The Plight Of Detained nationalists was a hard one. They were packed together like sardines in the camps. Their diet was poor and their clothes reducef to tatters. Controversy erupted over conditions in the detention camps. Accounts by detainees told of appalling conditions and brutality, and in 1959, the camps achieved world-wide notoriety after the Hola massacre. Detainees were colour-coded on arrest into white, grey and black streams. The black, being the hard-cores, were sent to the worst and most isolated camps. More than 78, 000 people passed through the camps. (Photograph by Drum Photographer BAHA)
