Angolan police have rescued 58 children from a clandestine care center in Luanda and detained four people suspected of mistreating minors. The operation took place in the Sambizanga municipality after a complaint, with police carrying it out on Thursday. Authorities found children with abrasions on their bodies and signs consistent with physical violence. The police said several children reported recurring episodes of violence and inadequate reception conditions. The center, which had previously been the subject of a complaint, was shut down during the raid. The children were then taken to the Kilamba Kiaxi Psychosocial Reception Centre for care and protection of their physical and psychological integrity, with support from municipal departments. Police said the four detainees were aged between 25 and 55. The case has been sent to the Public Prosecutor. According to the investigation, the children were placed in the center by their families for religious study, and the minors are being directed to their families with the involvement of the National Institute for the Child and local entities.
