A social media influencer in Angola has had her prison sentence increased to two years for “insulting” President João Lourenço on TikTok.
Ana da Silva Miguel, popularly known as Neth Nahara, was initially sentenced by a court to six months in August.
However, an appeals court ruled that the sentence was too lenient and raised it to two years.
Ms Miguel accused the president on her TikTok account of “anarchy and disorganisation”, local media reported.
She also blamed the president for the lack of schools, housing and employment in the oil-rich southern African state.
President Lourenço was re-elected for second term in August last year in a closely fought election that extended the ruling MPLA party’s decades-long dominance.
