S. Africa Urged to End Human Rights Violation Against Mozambicans

Mozambique's Human Rights and Development Association (DHD) on Tuesday sent a petition to South African President Thabo Mbeki, requesting him to use his political courage to stop the ill treatment received by three illegal Mozambican immigrants from the country's policemen.

According to a DHD press release, the organization asked Mbeki to wage "an energetic campaign aimed at ending the unkind treatment, cruelty, inhumane and degrading treatment reserved to Mozambicans who're living legally and illegally in that country, perpetrated by some South African police members".

The DHD also asked the South African president to enact a law that will make the lives of Mozambican immigrants more humane "because the blood of the two countries has been mixing throughout the centuries of history".

The DHD added that it took its position because it is shocked by a South African Broadcasting Corporation video footage, which was filmed in 1998, showing a group of South African police in Springs, in the outskirts of Johannesburg, setting their dogs onto three detained illegal Mozambican immigrants as part of "a training exercise".
