Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.A human rights activist has been jailed for three years by an Angolan court for committing crimes against the state.
Andre Zeferino Puati, along with several prominent figures in the province of Cabinda, was arrested after the separatist group Flec killed two members of the Togo football team in January as they travelled by bus to the Africa Cup of Nations.
"This trial was a sham designed to do away with Cabindans that have spoken out against human rights abuses in the enclave," said Puati's lawyer. Authorities say they found documents on Puati aimed at inciting protests.
