This is what the Portuguese call PEaCE IN MOZAMBIQUE, and this
what the imperialist allies of Portugal approve and finance.
ABDULLA KARIM spent seven days standing. Dai was nearly to
die by PIDE torture in Vila Pery.
Political Prisoners are obliged to stay days standing without
any movement, they are injected with poisoned injections in order
to make them speak unconsciously. They are forced to confess that
they are politicians though they know nothing of politics. The
prisons are full to capacity and no more space. New prisons are
being constructed.
In Lourenco Marques, at Machava a new prison has just been
finished. It is 6 square kilometres, about ±i square miles,
especially for political cases. Inside these prisons occur the
most inconceivable things: Physical and Moral Tortures.
PHYSICAL TORTURES:
1. An individual is forced to stand without small movement
days and nights;
2. Palmatoria (palm and beating stick), leather lash, and
what they call football match: they put one prisoner in
a room with five policemen to beat him. The policemen are
places one in each corner so that the prisoner passes from
one corner to another as a ball;
.3. Burning of beards, eyebrows, and soles of feet, etc.;
4. Use of noses as ash tray;
5. Electrical tortures: electrical shocks on sex, in the
ear, on the body in general.
MORAL TORTURES:
- While the prisoner is being interrogated he hears familiar
voices suffering tortures.
By means of lies, they try to create distrust between the
prisoners and relatives: saying, for example, that such
person of his Party has denounced him.
In February 1962, there were 155 political prisoners. Only
65 were released in Deoenber 1962, and in July 1963 about 120 more
were arrested in Mocimboa da Praia. Three of them were women.
There are no beds for political prisoners except for white
prisoners v/ho are arrested for various criminal offenses.
V? Forei^nerb ,«ho ^re In Prison
Among the prisoners I stayed with three Africans who were
arrested because they were suspected of being spies.
One is an Algerian whose name I cannot recall, and who v/as
sentenced for two years hard labour. When he finished his sentence,
PIDE locked him in his private cell. Up to now I am quite sure he
is still there.
One is from Kenya. His name is GABRIEL LltxRINDA, who is now
suffering mental disorders because of the PIDE torture.
Another is a Tanganyikan. His name is RaBaS KaNDURU. They
are all still in prison up to now. They never appeared in court.
