The Angolan parliament approved a law for protection against vandalism during demonstrations.

Civil rights activists argue that the law is unconstitutional and effectively abolishes the right to protest.

The law equates property damage with murder in terms of punishment, calling it disproportionate.

Angolans are now afraid of being associated with crimes committed at protests that could send them to prison for 20 years .
