This Thursday, the Police of the Republic of Mozambique, in Guruè, released the AMUSI party inspector, Guedes Rui Suandique Portugal, who was arrested last Friday for allegedly disturbing the voter registration process. Guedes Portugal spent six days in the police cells without any legal arrest or criminal proceedings.

The victim, who is now free, told reporters from Boletim CIP eleições that he was taken to the cells because he had reported the abandonment of the data entry clerk at the E.PC. voter registration office in Nacuacue. Nacuacue, where he is assigned by his party.

According to Portugal, the director of the STAE and the president of the CDE, both from Gurué, forced him to redo the report, previously submitted by the team of MDM and AMUSI inspectors assigned to the site, to prove that the typist was not absent from the post.

According to Portugal, the data entry clerk confidently told him that the same people to whom he would submit the complaint were the ones who had sent him to the post to do what he was doing.

Portugal says she has lived through some dark days in the cells of the PRM in Gurué, and has witnessed recurrent acts of human rights violations in the place, which for more than five days was her bitter home.

Our newsletter has tried several times to hear from Guruè's management and electoral administration bodies, but to no avail. They always promised to react, but never did. (CIP Text)
