Trapped South African Miners Refuse to Be Rescued Due to Fear of Arrest 
------------------------------------------------------------------------


 
In South Africa, a dozen miners were rescued and then arrested Sunday
after they became trapped while working illegally in an abandoned gold
mine. A number of other miners have refused to be rescued out of fear
they will also be arrested. There were reports more than 200 miners may
still be inside.
