Former Mozambican presidential candidate Venâncio Mondlane wants the people to set themselves up as an “autonomous court” and issue “judgments” against the police without the intervention of the authorities, citing the “macabre wave” of “summary executions”. The position appears in a document, released on Tuesday (21 Jan), which he calls a “decree”, with 30 measures for the next 100 days, one of which states that “it is up to the people, the victims, to establish themselves as an autonomous court that issues judgments to stop the macabre wave of the UIR, GOE and Sernic”, referring to units of the Police of the Republic of Mozambique that he accuses of “incessant flurry of summary executions”.
Venâncio Mondlane called for the application of the “Law of Talion” (Genesis 9:6; Exodus 21:23–25; Leviticus 24:19–20) from the Bible. “Every member of the population murdered by a member of the UIR [Rapid Intervention Unit] is automatically paid for by the same coin, that member of the UIR is also wiped out of existence, he goes to hell (…) Call me an agitator, call me whatever you want, the people are being killed, they’re being kidnapped, that’s how it’s going to be,” he said.
