Angola: Tiktoker Neth Nahara Fined, Jailed For Insulting President by fergie001: 9:16am On Oct 11, 2023
A social media influencer in Angola has had her prison sentence increased to two years for "insulting" President João Lourenço on TikTok.

Ana da Silva Miguel, popularly known as Neth Nahara, was initially sentenced by a court to six months in August.

However, an appeals court ruled that the sentence was too lenient and raised it to two years.

Ms Miguel accused the president on her TikTok account of "anarchy and disorganisation",
local media reported.

She also blamed the president for the lack of schools, housing and employment in the oil-rich southern African state.

President Lourenço was re-elected for second term in August last year in a closely fought election that extended the ruling MPLA party's decades-long dominance.

It has been in power since independence in 1975, and is accused of leading a repressive regime.

The appeals court in the capital, Luanda, said that Ms Miguel had used offensive words against the president, and the fact that she had the ability to influence public opinion made her conduct "more objectionable".

She had pleaded for leniency on the grounds that she was a first-time offender, a mother of young children, and regretted her remarks.

But the court dismissed her plea, and went further to order her to pay President Lourenço $1,200 (£1,000) for the "damage" caused to his reputation.

Judge Salomão Raimundo Kulanda described the president as "sovereign", and said the TikToker was aware of this.

Ms Miguel has more than 230,000 followers on TikTok and her videos attract thousands of views.

Her lawyer told Portuguese news outlet, Lusa, that this was the first time a person had been convicted in Angola for something they had posted on TikTok.

The lawyer added that the ruling was final. An appeal to the Supreme Court could not be made for a sentence that was less than three years.

The state prosecutor had asked for a harsher punishment, saying the initial six-month sentence was too "benevolent" and Ms Miguel was likely to put similar posts on social media again.

Angola is one of Africa's biggest oil exporters but most of its people live in poverty.

It has recently been hit by a wave of protests over the rising cost of living.

In August, campaign group Human Rights Watch (HRW) accused the security forces of unlawfully killing at least 15 people, mostly government critics, since the beginning of the year.

President Lourenço in June sacked the economic minister following deadly protests over a reduction in a fuel subsidy, which led to a spike in prices.

Africa and Tyrants are like 5 and 6. Western world leaders are verbally abused every minute yet no one is thrown in jail, only in Africa do see this kind of thing happening because there are no strong institutions. The courts are under the control of the executives, shame! African rulers leave more important things to start chasing shadows

As much as we might criticize the west, this is something I respect about them. You can abuse the president and no one dares arrest you.

Africans have the notion that when it comes to being strong, they have no contender. I grew up believing that the dark skin makes us stronger than anything anyone can think of. All those thoughts changed now that I have grown. Why? Strength comes with mindset and a lot more. We are only strong when it comes to being slaves and not doing anything productive to better our lives.

An oil exporting country , with majority of her citizens plunged to poverty? It is disheartening. It is mostly in African you stuffs like that as even the Arabs are making their countries better with their oil. A typical African cares only about themselves. Let's forget about the too many greetings, visiting eachother unlike the whites. It's all camouflage. If we love ourselves as much as we think, we wouldn't use because of tribe to elect someone with questionable character to rule us. And tomorrow we would, at the top of our voices, ask " why are figures not tallying after having seen so much forgery in just the way he had his education?

God, please help us all and not just my family and I

Protesters were protesting against King Charles on coronation day but nothing much was done to them. So why are African leaders always intolerant and tyrannical?

Africa...SMH

French president got slapped.

Overzealous African Leaders.p
BloodyDoe:
And the offender was slammed with 4 months behing bars. Lets stop being myopic.
Compare 4months to what played out here not forgetting the height of offence done as per putting them side by side then reply/mention me with yes or no for my question below:
Is the owner of the NL moniker@BloodyDoe sensible?
BloodyDoe:
The rule of law needs no copycat, the lady in question defamed the character of a sovereign leader to her over 23,000 follower, she slandered the identity of Angola whereas Macron was only bodily assaulted. Now use your brain and do the maths Mr sensiblebrain.
...stop embarrassing yourself further ...learn to read for comprehension rather than to comment and be termed an e-diot...to you i guess Macron isn't a sovereign leader!.
Peeps like you ...inshort i shouldn't be responding to your stupidity!.


Wittyness.
