Mozambique: Ricardo Rangel Laid to Rest
15 June 2009
Maputo — The photography of Ricardo Rangel, who died last Thursday at the age of 85, has made "an indelible mark on the history of Mozambique", declared Prime Minister Luisa Diogo on Monday.
Speaking at Rangel's funeral, in Maputo City Hall, Diogo praised Rangel for using his camera "to denounce colonial dictatorship". She recalled that in the final years of the Portuguese colonial regime, Rangel had been harassed by the Portuguese secret police, the PIDE, and some of his photos had been banned.

1 bis - O Público publicou a 17 de Junho um bom artigo sobre Ricardo Rangel, o homem e o personagem que sobreviveu com um notável talento de adaptação e independência a várias mudanças de regime, ao longo de 50 anos.
