Law enforcement in Angola
The National Police Force (PN) is a paramilitary body controlled by the Ministry of the Interior.[1][2] Law enforcement has its origins in the Polícia de Segurança Pública of Portuguese Angola.[3] During the COVID-19 pandemic in Angola, police killed teenagers during lockdown enforcement.[4] In September 2020, protests erupted following the death of a doctor while in police custody, who had been arrested for failing to wear a mask.[5] The protests utilised the hashtag #NaoABrutalidadePolicial (English: "no police brutality") while doctors led a march in Luanda.
