Even with the start of the fourth phase of the demonstrations, we have already received information that there are several detainees who need legal assistance\u201d, Zacarias said.<\/p>\n<p>Wednesday was the first day of \u201cphase four\u201d of demonstrations against the allegedly fraudulent results of the 9 October general elections, which aimed at concentrating demonstrators on the provincial capitals and the ports.<\/p>\n<p>According to Zacarias, in a large number of the cases assisted, it was found that the arrests were illegal, because the legal criteria were not observed. \u201cThey arrested minors, and people who were clearly not taking part in the public demonstration,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn some cases, citizens were questioned for simply travelling on the public highway and others were approached inside their homes, with a greater focus on suburban areas. In various cases we were able to assist through a phone call and in others we went all the way to trial\u201d, she said.<\/p>\n<p>In the meantime, the OAM says it has witnessed, with great concern, the unnecessary and unjustified use of tear gas, firearms with live bullets and deadly shots against defenceless people, and the prohibition of the free movement of people and goods, without any legal criteria.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to the arrests, the OAM said that the police have been seizing people\u2019s property, especially mobile phones, which are often seized without the right to recover them on release. Sometime the police have demanded bribes to set detainees free.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About Mozambique Follow Africa-Press<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Mozambique.
