Hugh Lewin was a South African anti-apartheid activist and writer. He wrote for Drum magazine in Johannesburg. Lewin was imprisoned for seven years, starting in 1964, by the South African government for his activities in support of the African Resistance Movement. In 1971, he was officially allowed to leave South Africa on a permanent departure permit. In 1992, Lewin returned to South Africa to become involved in the negotiations to end apartheid and in the Truth and Reconciliation Committee as a member of its Human Rights Violations Committee. He cofounded Baobab Press with Irene Staunton.
