Deeply involved with all the great anti-apartheid activities, the Defiance Campaign, the Freedom Charter, the Treason Trial, boycotts and strikes, Mandela was finally betrayed and sentenced to life imprisonment. But even in prison on Robben Island, seemingly completely isolated, he was able to win recognition in the outside world as a figure of supreme moral authority, until international mobilization against the apartheid regime forced his release in 1990.
