Maputo (MOZTIMES) – The Mozambican Attorney-General’s Office (PGR) has begun a civil suit against Venâncio Mondlane, and the PODEMOS party, demanding compensation of 32 million meticais to repair the damage caused by the demonstrations of protest against the election results.
A Monday press release from the Public Prosecutor’s Office declared that Mondlane and the main political party backing him, PODEMOS, in the person of its president, Albino Forquilha, are co-defendants in the civil suit and the prosecution is seeking damages of 32.3 million meticais.
The release says the co-defendants “have continued with calls and appeals for the mass participation of citizens in the aforementioned protest movements, inciting them to fury and to paralyse all the country’s activities”.
