Rádio Angola (RA): We had the honor to interview Sarah Hager, Chair of Southern Africa - Coordination Group in Amnesty International - Washinton, DC, to discuss issues of human rights in Angola. Ms. Hager expressed her couserns about the deterioration of human rights in Angola. Accroding to Ms. Hager, 15+2 are political prisoners. In addtion, the angolan government is using its criminal justice system to silence dissidents (e.g., 15+2, human rights activist José Marcos Mavungo, angolan journalist and human rights activist, Rafael Marques de Morais...) said Mr. Hager.

According to Sarah Hager, the U.S. Government is monitoring human raighrs situation in Angola very closely. She also shared the steps taken by Amnesty International towards questionable angolan human rights trials.
