The Armed Resistance Movement (ARM) was an anti-apartheid movement founded in South Africa circa 1962. Its members were mainly white, and friends of Peter Hain's family were involved.[citation needed].

ARM came into being at the time of the arrest of the major African National Congress (ANC) leadership. It succeeded in several operations of bloodless sabotage. However, an operation in Johannesburg station in July 1964 led to the death of an elderly woman from myocardial complications. She was, in fact, far from the site of the bomb blast.

One of the ARM's operatives (John Harris, a school teacher) was subsequently arrested, convicted, sentenced to death, and executed. Article

Harris was a friend of Peter Hain's family, and Harris' wife, Ann, and their young son, David, went to live with the Hains in the run-up to the trial. The 15-year-old Peter Hain delivered the eulogy at the service for Harris after his execution by the South African government.
