Special Report Transcript Episode 77, Section 4, Time 58:27Although she denies all knowledge of the assassination plan Derby-Lewis told the Amnesty Committee that she believed it was politically inspired. This is what she told the police during her interrogation in 1993. // We had minimal contact with the right in terms of being involved with them. I personally, and this is not for the record, thought they were crackpots and an embarrassment to our cause. // You said that. // Yes. // In the application for amnesty there is a statement and some evidence given by your husband that he acted on behalf of the broad right wing. Now, who is the broad right wing? // The HNP, the ”Oranje werkers,” there’s dozens of them. // There’s dozens of them? // Yes. // Of which you appear to have a poor opinion. // Mr. Bizos, you are completely twisting what I said. I talked about the crackpots that ran out and shot people in the street, I wasn’t talking about the right wing in general. I was talking about people who just go and shoot in the street. // Which other people in the right wing shot at people not in the streets, but in their driveways for instance? // That was as far as I’m concerned a political act and that is why we are sitting here. It’s not a senseless shooting of black people. Notes: Video (93-04-24); George Bizos; Derby-Lewis References: there are no references for this transcript |
