Read the text and answer the following questions.
The trial which started in October 1963 is often referred to as "the
trial that changed South Africa". Ten leading opponents of apartheid
were then brought to court on sabotage charges. They faced the
death penalty. In what was arguably the most profound moment in
the trial, Nelson Mandela made a speech in the dock in which he
condemned
the court
as
'illegitimate'.
The trial ended on 12 June 1964, with the court sentencing eight of
the defendants to life imprisonment. All were found guilty and were
incarcerated on Robben Island Prison, with the exception of
Goldberg, who was sent to Pretoria Central Prison where he served
22
years.
At the time, Pretoria Central was the only high security wing for
white political prisoners in South Africa.
