It fought a school boycott in the black township of Soweto two weeks ago by arresting more than 700 black youngsters, many of them no more than eight or ten years old. Last week, when Anglican Bishop Desmond Tutu's son Trevor, 29, expressed his indignation that a nine-year-old was being brought before a magistrate for participating in the school boycott, the authorities claimed that the younger Tutu had uttered an obscenity and slapped a 14-day detention order on him.
