Hogan was detained in 1981 for "furthering the aims of a banned organisation" and after being interrogated, ill-treated and held in solitary confinement for one year, was found guilty of high treason and sentenced to 10 years in jail. Part/s of this interview may have been included in "Between Life and Death: Stories from John Vorster Square" - a DVD produced as part of this project.
