 The Pope has spoken out in favour of   
 those people who demonstrate against   
 South African apartheid.               
                                        
 Speaking after his weekly blessing in  
 St Peter's Square in Rome, he praised  
 more than 10,000 people who marched    
 through the city yesterday.            
                                        
 The Catholic church looked on such acts
 with "approval and support" he said.   
                                        
 The demonstrators championed the       
 "undeniable" rights of man, the Pope   
 told a crowd of about 4,000.
