Africa-Press – Mozambique. <\/strong><\/span>The Judicial Court of the Province of Inhambane in southern Mozambique on Wednesday sentenced an agent of the police Rapid Intervention Unit (UIR) to 13 years in prison for inciting a coup d\u2019e\u0301tat and disobedience.<\/p>\n

The court noted that the crimes attributable to the agent were punishable by a prison sentence of up to 24 years, but decided, for unspecified reasons, to make a \u201cspecial reduction\u201d.<\/p>\n

The defendant fainted when the sentence was read. The judge went on reading the sentence. He was assisted by an officer of the Penitentiary Services but stayed the defendant was still lying on the floor by the end of the court session, Miramar reports. [Watch the video below)..<\/p>\n

The Mozambican Public Prosecutor\u2019s Office accused the UIR agent of having broadcast messages through the social network \u2018Whatsapp\u2019 inciting other members of the police to rebel against salary delays in the corporation and threatening to \u201cremove the commander in chief [Mozambican president Filipe Nyusi] from Ponta Vermelha [the official residence of the head of state]\u201d, as well as \u201cstopping the country\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo that others, who use social networks, do not spread messages that promote coups d\u2019e\u0301tat, we ask that a sentence of 30 years in prison be applied,\u201d the public prosecutor had earlier urged the court.<\/p>\n

During the trial, the defendant distanced himself from the authorship of the message, indicating that he had merely forwarded it to police general commander Bernardino Rafael with the intention of warning him.<\/p>\n

\u201cI only received the message and, as a member of the PRM sworn to defend national sovereignty, as soon as I saw it I forwarded it to the general commander. I am not the author of the message,\u201d the defendant declared.<\/p>\n
