Nelson Mandela was imprisoned by the South African government, specifically under the apartheid regime led by the National Party. He was arrested in 1962 and subsequently sentenced to life imprisonment in 1964 for his involvement in anti-apartheid activities and for conspiring to overthrow the government. His imprisonment was part of a broader effort to suppress resistance to apartheid and maintain white minority rule in South Africa.
