The overflow crowd at St. George's Cathedral included U.S. Ambassador Edward Perkins, the first black U.S. ambassador to South Africa, who issued a statement condemning the new state-ofemergency regulations as he arrived at the church. Tutu, winner of the 1984 Nobel Peace Prize and the highest-ranking Anglican clergyman in southern Africa, told the congregation, "I will continue to urge, as I do now , the authorities to release all detainees or bring them to court. And I hope you support me in such a call. Do you?" Hundreds in the audience shouted back,44Yes!" and the congregation broke into applause for 20 seconds. Regulations imposed during the weekend by Police Commissioner Johan Coetzee prohibit calls for the release of detainees or other efforts to rally public support for them. The rules have been assailed by a broad spectrum of clergy, opposition politicians, civil rights lawyers and newspapers. Monitoring gtoups estimate that 25,000 people have been detained without charge at some point since the state of emergency was declared 10 months ago. About 5,000, including hundreds of children, are believed-to be in detention now. The government refuses to give overall figures. Tutu and other church leaders say the new regulaJ tions appear to outlaw public prayers for detainees. I Law and Order Minister Adriaan Vlok has denied this, but reportedly planned to meet with other security officials in Pretoria to discuss whether ? clarification was needed.

He said he attended because 44it is in line with what we have always done - to try to underscore the undesirable nature of detentions^' Joining Tutu in leading the service were Rabbi Selwyn Franklin, Roman Catholic Archbishop Stephen Naidoo and the Rev. Allan Boesak, leader of the World Alliance of Reformed Churches and an outspoken anti-apartheid activist. Boesak explicitly called for violating the new regulations, which ban displaying posters or stickers supporting the release of detainees. 441 would so much like to see stickers appearing on cars all over the country in the next few days," Boesak said. 441 would like to see posters in every church by Easter Sunday." He suggested that the stickers and posters bear the text of a passage from the New Testament book of Hebrews, which he read: 4'Remember those who are in prison as if you are in prison. Remember those who are tortured as if you shared one body." 44I want to say this to the South African government," Boesak added. "Your days are up. You know this. This is just another senseless mockery of God's word." Tutu described the new regulations as blasphemous. "Christians cannot obey them without dishonoring find-".he said The regulations make it illegal to attend a gathering in honor of detainees or to make any oral or written call for their release. Violation could bring a $10,000 fine or 10 years in prison. The country's largest daily newspaper, The Star of Johannesburg, said in an editorial that Vlok's 4'disingenuous explanations ... help not a bit." "If anything, they make the state look incompetent as well as increasingly fascist.
