Overview

Civil society activists and journalists were arrested and detained for exercising their rights to freedom of expression and peaceful assembly. Some of them were denied necessary healthcare in detention. There was no investigation into the killing of one woman by security forces and the injury of another. The fate and whereabouts of two members of the National Unity for Total Revolution of Angola Movement remained unknown. Women and children from the south-western provinces were most vulnerable to food insecurity, which was expected to affect 5% of the overall population.
