Mozambique: Opposition calls for investigation into gunfire in Quelimane

The Mozambican opposition, represented by the Podemos party, condemned the police repression that occurred in Quelimane. During a march, members of Venâncio Mondlane's party alleged that there was gunfire from the police forces.

In response to the incidents, Podemos requested an independent investigation to identify those responsible for the alleged shots. The political formation emphasized the need to hold the agents involved in these actions accountable.

In addition to demanding the investigation, representatives of Podemos expressed concern for the safety of their supporters and for the freedom of assembly in the country. The incident has been closely observed by various civil society groups.

The situation in Quelimane raises questions about the relationship between authorities and the opposition in Mozambique, in an already tense political context, underscored by previous acts of repression against demonstrators.
