According to Human Rights Watch, at least 30 people were killed during three weeks of violent crackdowns following protests against the disputed presidential election results in Mozambique.
The electoral process has been heavily criticized, with opposition groups asserting that the ruling Frelimo party’s recent election victory was mired in claims of unfair practices and rigging.
Mozambique's Centre for Democracy and Human Rights reported a total of 34 deaths during the ongoing protests, indicating escalating violence against demonstrators.
In light of the violent repression, Human Rights Watch urges the government to lift recent arbitrary restrictions on internet access that infringe on citizens' rights.
