Hundreds of Palestinian policemen and tax collectors employed by the Israeli government in the occupied territories quit their jobs, some out of sympathy for the movement, some out of fear. The Israelis responded with new measures, including a ban on delivery of gasoline and cooking fuel to Palestinian towns, a nightly curfew throughout the Gaza Strip, and disruption of international phone service linking the territories with the rest of the world.

Last month he banned 17 antiapartheid groups, including the United Democratic Front, an antigovernment umbrella group with some 2 million members. Just two days before the election, Cape Town police arrested Anglican Archbishop Desmond Tutu, two dozen other churchmen and more than 100 parishioners as they marched from St. George's Cathedral to Parliament to protest the ban.
