As Angolans prepare to go to the polls in parliamentary elections on 5 September 2008, Amnesty International urges all parliamentary candidates and political party leaders, to publicly commit to respect human rights during the election and place prevention of human rights abuses by their supporters at the core of their electoral campaign. The organization further calls on all candidates and leaders of political parties to make human rights central to their electoral programme for the post election period.
