# The United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights has urged Angolan authorities to conduct a thorough and independent investigation into the deaths, as well as the reported use of excessive force during the fuel price hike demonstrations. At least 22 people were killed, 200 injured, and over one-thousand detained following protests against a rise in the price of fuel. The UN says unverified footage suggests that security forces used live ammunition and tear gas to disperse protesters, which points to an unnecessary and disproportionate use of force.
