Constitution Hill Human Rights Precinct

This guide to Constitution Hill in Johannesburg opens in January 1908, when a young lawyer named Mohandas Gandhi is arrested, stripped of his suit, and locked in a cell here alongside ordinary criminals for defying a law he considered unjust. It follows his brief imprisonment and the government's nervous negotiation with General Jan Smuts to have him removed from the fort. Listen for the idea he carried away from these walls.
