The Amnesty International report on
Mozambique has denounced death squads, the repression of demonstrations and
inability of the Mozambican police to solve crimes, and says members of
Mozambique’s Defence and Security Forces and the opposition Renamo party committed
human rights abuses, including killings, torture and other ill-treatment,
without any accountability.The Amnesty International 2016/2017 report on
human rights was released on Tuesday 21 February, and recalls the flight
of thousands of people into Malawi, adding that “people expressing dissent or
criticizing human rights violations, political and military instability or the
country’s hidden debts faced attacks and intimidation”.The violations included “extrajudicial
executions, torture and other ill-treatment, arbitrary detention and
destruction of property”, adding that “there continues to be impunity for such
crimes”.
Police incapacity
The report lists a number of crimes attributed
to members of the Defence and Security Forces and Renamo, for which no-one has
ever been brought to justice.Among the cases cited are the murder of
Jeremias Pondeca, a member of the Renamo mediation group in the peace agreement
process, “by unidentified men believed to be members of a death squad composed
of security agents. Those suspected of criminal responsibility for the attack
had not been identified at the end of the year”.Renamo members and supporters, according to
Amnesty, “plundered health facilities and carried out attacks on roads and
police stations, resulting in a high number of victims among the civilian
population, as well as attacking the police and armed forces”.In the human rights organization’s view, “the
Government has failed to investigate and prosecute crimes against the general
population committed by members and supporters of Renamo”.
Mass graves
In May, local and international media and
civil society organizations announced the discovery of unidentified bodies in a
grave in the Gorongosa region, but an investigation started in June failed to
identify either the bodies or the suspects.The organization cites a United Nations
analysis of human rights in Mozambique, with the government of Filipe Nyusi
accepting 180 recommendations and rejecting 30 of them.“Among the rejected proposals were
recommendations on ratification of the International Convention against Forced
Disappearance and the Rome Statute of the ICC, as well as on freedom of
expression and corporate responsibility,” Amnesty notes.
Death squads
That the flight of about 10,000 Mozambicans to
Malawi verified by the UN High Commissioner for Refugees was not acknowledged
by the Maputo government is also mentioned in the report.In the human rights chapter, Amnesty denounces
“intimidation and attacks on people who express dissenting or critical
opinions, including journalists and human rights defenders”.As an example, the report refers to the
kidnapping of political commentator and university professor José Jaime Macuane
“by unidentified men believed to be members of a death squad composed of
security agents”.Amnesty International also points out that the
police thretened to crack down on a planned demonstration at the end of April
2016, while in May “political parties without parliamentary representation and
civil society organizations called for a peaceful demonstration to protest
against the country’s hidden debts and political and military instability”, but
the “Maputo City Council refused to allow the protest”.
