Pregnant, the wife of "Tanaice Neutro" also gave her face and voice at the press conference, reiterating that the activists "were unfairly arrested by the Angolan Government" and promised to fight in the streets for their release.
"We can't visit our husbands because the Angolan Government thinks it owns the country. We came here to denounce everything that is happening to our husbands and it doesn't matter if we are going to die, but we are going out to ask them to release our husbands because we are tired of this Government", said Teresa Cawanga.
Teresa also showed, on the occasion, photos about Tanaice Neutro's health status, stating that he is prevented from having the surgery he needs because he is deprived of his freedom.
A message to President João Lourenço was also left by Lemba Paulo, wife of activist Abraão Pensador, asking the head of state to comment within five days, reiterating that if this does not happen they will take to the streets naked in protest.
"President of the Republic, a message for you, you have five days to speak out, if you don't, I guarantee you that you will see what you didn't want to see, we will not destroy any public property, but I guarantee that our naked body will be yours ( President of the Republic) will see", he assured.
