︎Archbishop Desmond Tutu, one of many frontline champions against South Africa's brutal apartheid regime, died yesterday in Cape Town. He was 90 years old.

Battling prostate cancer and related complications, Tutu had been in failing health for some time. But the 1984 Nobel Peace Prize laureate and people's hero held on, continuing to inspire and support freedom movements all over the world.

A seven-day period of mourning has been declared in South Africa.

On Leid Stories today, we hold Archbishop Desmond Tutu in our hearts.
