Release Digital Influencer Neth Nahara immediately
Petition to: Marcy Cláudio Lopes, Minister of Justice and Human Rights
Ana da Silva Miguel, (AKA Neth Nahara), is a 31-year-old digital influencer who uses her social media to comment on current issues in Angola, mainly involving politicians and famous artists.
Neth is also a singer and a single mother of two with thousands of followers on social media.
On August 13, 2023, she was arrested by the Criminal Investigation Services in Luanda, capital city of Angola.
On August 14, she was tried and convicted to 6 months in prison for the crime of ‘outrage against the state, its symbols and bodies’ for recording a live video on TikTok on August 12 that criticized the president. Following an appeal by the public prosecutor, her 6 months sentence was increased to 2 years in prison.
In 2020, she made it public that she is HIV positive. Since her arrest in August 2023, Neth Nahara was not receiving her daily medication for the virus for eight months, seriously impacting her health, and putting her life at serious risk. Her health situation was critical, which led to an emergency hospitalisation on 3 December 2023.
Join us in calling for Neth’s immediate release to the Minister of Justice and Human Rights, Marcy Cláudio Lopes.
Join us in making a difference.
