Theyve been used against those who used armed resistance to defend themselves against brutal and repressive regimes. such as those in Cuba and Burma. Theyve even been used against women who were raped and enslaved by armed militia in Liberia. And as we recognize today. theyve been used against members of the African National Congress. including the great leader. Nelson Mandela. This has had profound effects. preventing us from protecting vulnerable refugees and asylum seekers and resulting in embarrassing denials of visas for Nelson Mandela himself and other foreign heads of state. We all know how Mr. Mandela and other ANC leaders suffered unjust incarceration for decades at the hands of the apartheid regime.
