MISA-Mozambique will be closely monitoring the proceedings surrounding the death of journalist João Chamusse, the institution's president, Jeremias Langa, revealed this morning in Maputo.

He was speaking to journalists moments after submitting a petition on crimes against journalists to the Public Prosecutor's Office.

"MISA will act as an assistant in this case, in order to accompany all the proceedings until the material truth is clarified," he said.

The aim is to gain access to the details of the case and share what we can with the public, while respecting the times when it is a secret.

"As the process goes on, those details that can be shared with the public, we will do so to also help put pressure on the institutions to go ahead with the process so that we can get to the material truth as quickly as possible," he said.

The submission of the petition to the Public Prosecutor's Office was the culmination of a silent march of repudiation against the murder of journalists and the impatience of the institutions of justice in clarifying the cases.

"As citizens, this march aims to exercise this civic right, to come to the institutions for which we pay taxes, and freely demand that this institution bring us the material truth," he clarified.
