EAST LONDON, South Africa — About 70 people are expected to face charges in the massacre of 28 protesters last year in a black homeland. Most of the suspects are members of the Ciskei military, a prosecutor said Friday.
Willem Jurgens, the homeland’s attorney general, said he had not yet decided on exact charges and refused to disclose the names.
Soldiers opened fire on protesters last Sept. 7, killing 28 and wounding more than 200.
