UNITA leader accuses regime of intensifying political intolerance in Angola

The leader of UNITA, the largest opposition party in Angola, today accused "the regime that governs Angola" of intensifying acts of political intolerance. According to the official, these acts show "marks of violence that shame the State and wound the dignity of citizens." The accusation comes at a time of political tension in the country, where the opposition party has been denouncing situations of repression against its members. UNITA, as the main opposition force in Angola, has repeatedly criticized what it considers to be an escalation of authoritarianism on the part of the government.
