Angola continued to register arbitrary or unlawful killings in 2023
The US assesses that the human rights situation in Angola in 2023 remained generally similar to that in 2022, with “credible reports of arbitrary or unlawful killings, cruel, inhuman, or degrading treatment or punishment” by Angolan authorities.

The accusation is included in the annual report by the State Department on the situation of human rights, which summarizes: "There were no significant changes in the human rights situation in Angola during the year".
In addition to mistreatment by the Angolan government, the US State Department identified, "among the significant problems", the harsh conditions of detention, which it classifies as "potentially fatal", the existence of political prisoners and "severe restrictions on freedom of expression and freedom of the media".
In this case, US diplomacy considers that there are "threats of violence against journalists, unjustified detentions or persecution of journalists, censorship or application or threat of application of criminal defamation laws to limit expression".
In the field of rights and guarantees provided for in the Angolan Constitution, the State Department refers to "substantial interference with freedom of peaceful assembly and freedom of association, including excessively restrictive laws on the organization, funding or operation of non-governmental and civil society organizations".
The "serious government corruption; widespread gender-based violence, including domestic or intimate partner violence, sexual violence, and early, forced, or child marriage; and prohibition of independent unions or significant or systematic restrictions on workers' freedom of association" are other situations pointed out in the State Department report.
"The [Angolan] Government took credible steps to identify, investigate, prosecute, and punish officials who committed human rights abuses. However, accountability for human rights violations was limited due to a lack of checks and balances, weak institutional capacity, a culture of impunity, and government corruption", the report highlights.
