Mozambique police on Tuesday denied that they used force against participants in peaceful marches in honour of the country’s late rapper Azagaia in several cities after they was forced to repress it saying there was a risk of violence.
Mozambican youth were participating in authorised nationwide peaceful demonstrations in five provinces, including Maputo, to remember the fallen artiste.
