Security Forces Accused of Brutality in Mozambique

    Mozambique's Bloody Crackdown:    Security Forces Unleash Brutal Force on Protesters

The National Human Rights Commission (CNDH) of Mozambique has issued a damning report alleging that security forces used excessive force to quell recent protests sparked by disputed presidential election results. The CNDH claims that security forces resorted to the indiscriminate use of tear gas and, in some instances, live ammunition to disperse crowds.

The human rights watchdog has expressed deep concern over the disproportionate use of force, which it says has resulted in injuries and fatalities among protesters. The CNDH's findings have sparked widespread condemnation from civil society organizations and international human rights groups, who have called on the government to investigate the allegations and hold those responsible accountable. 

The government has dismissed the CNDH's report as biased and politically motivated, insisting that security forces acted within the law to maintain public order. However, the growing body of evidence suggests a disturbing pattern of human rights abuses by security forces, raising serious questions about the government's commitment to upholding the rule of law and protecting the rights of its citizens.
