Police arrested about 20 people [pt] who were preparing for a pro-democracy demonstration today in Luanda. Among those detained are journalists of the Novo Jornal and rapper Brigadeiro Mata Frakuzx (#Ikonoklasta) who showed his revolt against the 32-year rule of President Eduardo dos Santos in a concert earlier this month.
