Angola

With Angola, for the first time a sub-Saharan African country has won the Leone d'Oro/Golden Lion prize for the best national pavilion of the Venice Biennial.

It will be 34 years, come September, since the death of Dr. Agostinho Neto, Angola’s first president. Dr. Neto was the man who changed the face of Angola’s armed struggle against Portuguese occupation after joining the People's Movement for the Liberation of Angola (MPLA).

Human Rights Watch called on the Angolan authorities to release or appropriately charge all detained protesters and to ensure that all detainees have prompt access to legal counsel and family members.
