In 1999, Jeffrey Benzien was granted an amnesty by the South African Truth and Reconciliation Commission for his part in the killing.〔(TRUTH AND RECONCILIATION COMMISSION AMNESTY COMMITTEE, APPLICATION IN TERMS OF SECTION 18 OF THE PROMOTION OF NATIONAL UNITY AND RECONCILIATION ACT NO. 34 OF 1995. JEFFREY THEODORE BENZIEN APPLICANT )〕 On his release from prison in February 1990, Nelson Mandela acknowledged Ashley Kriel's sacrifice for the freedom struggle.〔(SOUTH AFRICA'S NEW ERA; Transcript of Mandela's Speech at Cape Town City Hall: 'Africa It Is Ours! ), New York Times, 12 February 1990〕〔Nelson Mandela's address on his release from prison〕 In his memory, the Institute for Justice and Reconciliation and the University of the Western Cape created the annual Ashley Kriel Memorial Youth Lecture〔(Ashley Kriel Memorial Youth Lecture )〕 to highlight youth leadership challenges throughout the country. ==The Ashley Kriel Youth Leadership Development Project== The project was established because of the inspiration from Cape Town youth leader Ashley Kriel who was killed by the apartheid regime in the 1980s. He is recognised as representative of students and youth of the 1980s from the Cape Flats in Western Cape. Ashley Kriel is a symbol of youths bringing about social change in and out of the Western Cape. The program involves youth in many various platforms, including physical and electronic, the project also promotes debate about youth leadership and development. By connecting a cross-section of youth from different societies, the project aims to develop young future leaders. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Ashley Kriel」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
