Three killed, 66 injured in Mozambique opposition protest, hospital says
A police officer fires at protesters near a burning barricade during a "national shutdown" against the election outcome, at Luis Cabral township in Maputo, Mozambique on November 7, 2024.
Mozambique's largest hospital said on Friday that at least three people were killed and 66 injured during clashes between police and protesters the previous day over a disputed election.
The fatalities add to at least 18 people killed in earlier protests since the October 9 poll, which the opposition claims was rigged. Some groups have given a higher toll, with Mozambique's Centre for Democracy and Human Rights reporting 34 deaths overall.
