Four Angolan human rights activists were sentenced to up to six years in jail in Angola's oil-producing Cabinda province, a lawyer said on Tuesday. The human rights activists were all arrested shortly after the Cabindan separatist group FLEC killed two members of the Togo national soccer delegation as they made their way by bus to the African Nations Cup in Angola in January.
The trial took place under a heavy police presence, a month after exiled leaders of the Front for the Liberation of the Enclave of Cabinda (FLEC) said their three-decade long war against the government was over.
