Cry Freedom

John Briley

29,420 words

スティーブ・ビコは乱暴な男だと人は言う。ではなぜその男が平和についての話をしたのだろうか。彼は革命を望んでいるのだと人は言う。ではなぜその男が友情について話をしたのだろうか。彼は飢え死にしたと人は言う。ではなぜその男の死体は傷だらけだったのだろうか。これは南アフリカ政府と戦った男の物語である。嘘ではなく真実を選ぶ人間ならだれでも経験しうる物語である。「自由」を声高に求め死を厭わない人間なら誰でも経験しうる物語である。

They said Steve Biko was a man of violence; then why did he talk of peace? They said he wanted revolution; so why did he talk of friendship? They said he died of hunger; why was his body broken and bruised? This is the story of a man's fight with the government of South Africa. It is the story of all people who prefer truth to lies. It is the story of all people who cry 'Freedom', and who are not afraid to die.
