Security and Human Rights

JERONIMO NSISA JOSE 10/04/2022

Regarding this topic under discussion, in Angola there is a constant violation of human rights, which consists of the detention of activists and terrible living conditions in prisons, killings of street vendors by police officers and inspectors of municipal administrations.

The courts that must administer justice in favor of the people are completely at the service of the dictatorship that has lasted more than 47 years in Angola.
