Apartheid Death Squad Leader "Prime Evil" Granted Parole in South Africa 
-------------------------------------------------------------------------


 
South Africa has granted parole to apartheid death squad leader Eugene
de Kock. He was dubbed "Prime Evil" for his role in the torture and
murder of scores of black South African activists in the 1980s and early
1990s. He had been imprisoned since 1994, the year Nelson Mandela and
the African National Congress came to power.
