LUANDA, Angola (AP) - A British woman working for the international organization Global Witness has been arrested and accused of espionage, her attorney told a local radio station on Monday.
Sarah Wykes was in Cabinda gathering information for a report on the Angolan extractive industry — oil and diamonds. She was arrested at her hotel early Sunday and taken to prison, David Mendes said.
"We think we have enough arguments to prove the imprisonment was arbitrary," Mendes told Ecclesia radio, adding that Wykes was to appear before a court on Monday.
