George Bizos was a Greek-South African human rights lawyer who campaigned against apartheid in South Africa. He represented Nelson Mandela during the Rivonia Trial.
He instructed Mandela to add the qualification "if needs be" to his trial address, which is credited with sparing him from a sentence of death.
Bizos also represented the families of anti-apartheid activists killed by the government, throughout the hearings of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission.
He also represented victims of the Marikana massacre.
