Two Weeks Later: Still No Names of the Victims of the Massacre Perpetrated by Security Forces
Nearly two weeks after the massacre following the alleged escape on December 25 from the Central Prison of Maputo and the Maximum Security Prison, known as B.O., families still do not know whether their relatives are alive or not.
On the day following the alleged escape, when families arrived at the penitentiary with food for their detained relatives, they were instructed to go to the Central Hospital of Maputo.
There, some found their relatives injured, while others were directed to the morgue, where many bodies remai- ned unidentified.
As of today, Sunday, January 5, many families still have no information about their relatives who were in detention. Official sources indicate that 33 people were killed.
However, internal sources dispute this information, which was released by the General Commander of the 
Mozambican Police (PRM), Bernardino Rafael.
Beyond the 33 reported dead, more than 100 people were executed after being recaptured. Some of these people were buried in mass graves. As a result, the prisoners murdered by security forces remain mere numbers to this day.
