# The Pietermaritzburg High Court is hearing the state’s closing arguments in the reopened inquest into the 1967 death of ANC leader and Nobel Laureate, Albert Luthuli. The original inquest concluded he was struck by a goods train with no criminal culpability. The reopened proceedings which begun in April, examined new forensic and railway evidence, alongside testimony from family members detailing intensified security police harassment following Luthuli’s 1961 Nobel Peace Prize recognition. The closing arguments will conclude on Thursday.
