Nelson Mandela was released from prison on February 11, 1990, after spending 27 years behind bars.
Mandela was imprisoned on August 5, 1962, when he was arrested and subsequently charged with various crimes, including inciting workers' strikes and leaving the country without permission.
He was initially sentenced to five years in prison but was later tried in the Rivonia Trial and, on June 12, 1964, he was sentenced to life imprisonment for his role in fighting against apartheid.
