CAPE TOWN - An expert witness has challenged the original official cause of death of anti-apartheid activist Imam Abdullah Haron.
An aeronautical engineer has told the Western Cape High Court that Haron’s injuries are inconsistent with the type of fall that police say led to his death in 1969.

The second day of a newly-reopened inquest into the death included a site inspection of the two police stations where Haron was initially detained and interrogated.
The family says they've always known that the original report -- that Haron died from a fall and heart condition -- was a lie.
On Wednesday, the court will hear evidence from the state pathologist and Haron's niece.
