Crying for Justice is on the unmarked grave site near the historic gallows at the Castle of Good Hope in Central Cape Town. Made up of 118 unmarked graves it symbolised the 117 known activists killed in detention by apartheid security forces. Viewed from above or the Castle's ramparts, the installation spells the word JUSTICE as a reverberating call to continue the fight for truth, justice and accountability in post-apartheid South Africa. The artists led a walk of the site.
