Reconciliação sem justiça. A CIVICOP e o 27 de Maio em Angola

No passado dia 13 de Junho de 2022, a CIVICOP - Comissão de Reconciliação em Memória das Vítimas dos Conflitos Políticos - promoveu um acto público em Luanda, onde se sepultaram os restos mortais de Nito Alves, Sianuk, Jacob Caetano e Ilídio Ramalhete, algumas das figuras centrais do malfadado processo 27 de Maio de 1977, em que, após uma alegada tentativa de golpe de Estado, um número indeterminado de protagonistas e apoiantes de Alves ou críticos de Agostinho Neto foi preso, torturado e assassinado. Neste acto, no entanto, foram prestadas honras militares aos falecidos e entregues certidões de óbito aos seus familiares.
