The demonstrators were peacefully singing and holding placards at the place where Elvino Dias and Paulo Guambe were murdered when, suddenly, we heard the commander of the Rapid Intervention Unit give orders to open fire against people" (Protected Source). "I was near him and I heard it all. He (the commander) was the first to shoot, and the police followed. In the crowd there were also journalists but that did not worry the police commander. Suffocated by the police gas, we left at a run, in search of a better place to continue our work" (Protected Source). "When it was about 10.00 the PODEMOS presidential candidate, Venâncio Mondlane arrived, and the journalists went to meet him. During the interview we heard explosions. It was tear gas grenades launched directly at the place. We insisted on the interview, but the gas continued to reach us. We all ran out, each of us looking for safety. As I ran, I heard an explosion and I felt something bad had happened to me"(Protected Source). |
