We also have deep concerns Rafael will not receive a fair trial as
there have already been severe irregularities in the legal process. In
addition, the law under which Rafael is being tried violates the rights
to freedom of expression and speech under international law and the
Angolan constitution and is used by the government to silence critics.
“Hi,
my name is_______and I am a member of Amnesty International. I am
concerned about the trial of Rafael Marques [pronounced Mar-keys] and
think the charges should be dropped. The law under which he is being
tried violates his right to free speech and I’m also concerned he will
not receive a fair trial.”
