As the Health Professions Council of South Africa today begins its sentencing hearing of Dr Wouter Basson, former head of the Apartheid chemical and biological weapons, a short film that highlights Dr Basson's activities will be screened at Wits university. The film will also reflect on the outcome of the hearing and why this remains important today. Last year, the HPCSA found Basson guilty of unethical conduct. The producers of the film say it was inspired by a recent visit to Roodeplaat Research Laboratories, where during apartheid, scientists undertook animal experiments to, amongst other things, find toxins and chemicals that could be used to kill without leaving a trace. We speak to senior researcher in the Crime and Justice Programme of the Institute for Security Studies, Dr Chandre Gould.
