Situação crítica no centro do país: mais um linchamento na Beira

Com 28 anos, pai de um filho, foi esta madrugada primeiro morto e depois queimado na zona da Manga Mascarenhas, periferia da cidade da Beira (informação prestada por um jornalista da Rádio Moçambique sediado na Beira). A situação parece ter-se tornado crítica no centro do país. Recorde aqui, aqui, aqui e aqui.
Entretanto, o segundo seminário público da Unidade de Diagnóstico Social sobre linchamentos realiza-se na próxima quarta-feira, dia 14, Faculdade de Medicina, anfiteatro principal, às 16 horas, com a presença da investigadora brasileira Jacqueline Sinhoretto, que estudou linchamentos em São Paulo e chega amanhã a Maputo.

Violenta a reaçao popular ao crime. Tenho visto com alguma atençao a opiniao das crianças relativamente ao tratamento a atribuir aos criminosos (ladroes em particular) e, a julgar por isso, o capital de violencia na aplicaçao da justiça é significativo. Para muitas crianças convidadas a opinar a justiça parece algo privado, cabe a cada um de nós castigar a quem nos rouba. E o Estado? sabem elas ( as crianças) que a ele que cabe a admnistracao da justiça?

Um problema complexo sobre o qual procuraremos reflectir no seminário sobre linchamentos próxima quarta-feira na Faculdade de Medicina.

J Francisco Saraiva de Sousa disse...

Muitos linchamentos. É preciso implementar novas políticas civis e administrativas. Porque suspeito que esses comportamentos são arcaicos, isto é, derivam de práticas de justiça ancestrais. O Estado de Direito deve impôr-se e zelar pela segurança dos cidadãos.

Carlos Serra disse...

O problema consiste em saber como levar os cidadãos a recorrer às instãncias judiciárias.

J Francisco Saraiva de Sousa disse...

O problema é mais económico. Se houvesse dinheiro e também vontade política genuína, investia-se na educação e na polícia,combatia-se as causas da pobreza, etc. Mas é preciso começar por algum lado: talvez educação e comunicação social. Talvez a Igreja possa dar uma ajuda nesse campo, como fez no passado. Imaginação política e boa vontade. Pessoalmente, já não condeno os que roubam para comer e sobreviver. Seria imoral e hipócrita da minha parte.

Salvador Langa disse...

Uma tragédia isto tudo mano.

Reflectindo disse...

Se não deposito palavras sobre o que assisto aqui e sobre isto, não é porque não existo. Mas é pk me sinto muito mal com isto.

...e este seminário está aberto a qualquer participante que o desejar ou existem algumas restrições??

Estou ansioso por ver os resultados do seminário. Em minha opinião os linchamentos deveriam ser vistos no âmbito da luta que se faz para extender o Estado e torna-lo cada vez mais eficaz. Parece-me um despropósito insistir na tecla de que os linchamentos reflectem alguma forma de degenerescência social dos moçambicanos.

Os Americanos (dos EUA) lincharam criminosos e supostos criminosos até para além dos meados do século 20. Faziam-no, em minha opinião porque o seu Estado estar-se-ia ainda e estender e a ganhar eficiência. Linchar alguém na América hoje (embora por vezes ocorra episodicamente) seria anacrónico.

Por alguma razão, que vai para além das pessoas ou das crianças, os linchamentos em Moçambique e em outros países africanos em rápido processo de urbanização não são tão anacrónicos como isso.

Analisar este assunto, colocando-o na devida perspectiva histórica colocaria de parte a ideia de que os linchamentos "derivam de práticas ancestrais de justiça" como diz jfrancisco saraiva de sousa.

Nas nossas aldeias os crimes não costumam ser punidos com linchamentos.

For those who stop by and reflect on this, great, let me tell you the real version of what had happened. First, my name is Fernando Antunes, born and lived in Beira and apparently lived all those years in Manga Mascarenhas, about 2 minutes walking from the scene where the man found hs death. For those who can still remember 2007, I am the son of Mr Mario Marques Antunes. Strainght to the point abut the incident which culminated with the tragic death of that innocent man which clearly brought mysery to his son and family, I have to say that, in the quality of witness (basing upon the concept of 'witness') I was on duty guarding my father's farm on the night of the incident, when suddely heard, along the main road leadding to the junction with other farms, people running and the chase was getting bigger just to catch a man. What happened prior to the chase we all don't know, nor do the local police. About that Im sure. The the man was caught, beatten and set on fire. How? They poured petrol all over his body and laced on his waist a rubber tyre, which consumed the poor man's life. No ambulance was called, no help was there. Please don't rest the blame on the individual. The local police should be doing their job. The public should be aware and prohibited by law not to take justice by their own actions. We did not see or heard what was the man doing to deserve such a treatment. Mens rea was not proved, actus reus was not proved. The police did not investigate. What they have done, I can accurately tell you all: they came on the next day at about 4pm with a landrover and took the body away and the body was still burning slowly. No statements were taken, no witnesses were gathered. And you know what? The chief police inspectors, superintendents and all the way through the seniors of the criminal justice process are in fact guilty of that crime and many more that never reaches the news. They are the ones involved in corruption, robberies and drug dealings and justice nor injustice is never done against them. As far as I am aware, and studying criminal investigation with psychology in a civilised country, Mozambique has abolished the death penalty and no one is above the law regarding that or any related act defined by law of the land. That is, by the way, in A CIVILISED SOCIETY. HELP THE SON OF THIS POOR MAN AND MAKE THINGS RIGHT. HOW MANY GENERATION YOU NEED TO CHANGE THE MENTALITY? Get real. Shame on you all. Challenge them by shaming them. You can do that by going public with these and more comments.
