The Innocence
Time: Wednesday Mar 29, 1961
Place: South Africa
Details: On 29 March 1961, six years after the Treason Trial began, the judges produced a verdict of not guilty, ruling that there was insufficient evidence to convict the accused of "high treason", since they had advocated neither communism nor violent revolution; the outcome embarrassed the government.

Best-effort ordering. Some events may appear out of order since many are only known to the year, but they are usually around the same period.
