98
00:06:25,720 –> 00:06:29,480

102
00:06:44,279 –> 00:06:47,600
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs warned in a statement issued

103
00:06:47,600 –> 00:06:52,279

conflict in eastern DRC, particularly the recent heavy fighting around Goma,

105
00:06:58,279 –> 00:07:01,199
was triggered by constant volins of the scenes fire by

00:07:41,240 –> 00:07:44,759

claimed is allegedly supported by Rwanda, have taken control of Masisi,

177
00:12:02,840 –> 00:12:06,720
a key town in eastern Congo, exacerbating the region’s ongoing

178
00:12:06,840 –> 00:12:11,120
humanitarian crisis. The town is estimated to be home to

179
00:12:11,159 –> 00:12:14,879
around forty thousand people, and it is agricultural and mineral

twenty three rebels fighting has built more tension. The Congolese

185
00:12:37,200 –> 00:12:40,480
government says it has executed one hundred and two men

186
00:12:40,519 –> 00:12:43,879
in the past week, with plans to execute seventy more.

187
00:12:44,639 –> 00:12:49,440
Constant Mutember, the country’s Minister of Justice, stated in a

188
00:12:49,519 –> 00:12:53,639
statement that forty five were killed in late December twenty

189
00:12:53,720 –> 00:12:57,840
twenty four, with fifty seven executed in early January twenty

190
00:12:57,919 –> 00:13:02,399
twenty five. He said the men aged eighteen to thirty five,

191
00:13:02,879 –> 00:13:07,519
where armed robbers end or band bandits known locally as cooliners.

192
00:13:08,279 –> 00:13:12,240
Newtamber added that the executions took place at Engender prison

193
00:13:12,320 –> 00:13:16,600
in northwest Congo. A video posted online showed a flight

194
00:13:16,679 –> 00:13:20,039
of seventy more people arrived at Engender board. The government

195
00:13:20,200 –> 00:13:24,159
is yet to comment on the status of the prisoners. Newtamber,

196
00:13:24,519 –> 00:13:29,320
who is overseeing the executions, said the South Bache will

197
00:13:29,360 –> 00:13:33,080
be executed, so the first two have already undergone. The

198
00:13:33,159 –> 00:13:37,320
measure of execution by the death penalty. While some have

199
00:13:37,480 –> 00:13:41,159
welcomed the government’s decision to execute the prisoners as a

200
00:13:41,240 –> 00:13:45,000
means of restoring order and security in the cities, others

201
00:13:45,039 –> 00:13:49,320
are concerned about the risks of abuse and human rights violations.

202
00:13:49,759 –> 00:13:53,080
It may be remembered that Congo abolished the death penalty

203
00:13:53,120 –> 00:13:56,440
in nineteen eighty one, but it was reinstated in two

204
00:13:56,480 –> 00:14:01,200
thousand and six. The last execution took in two thousand

205
00:14:01,279 –> 00:14:05,600
and three. In March twenty twenty four, the Congolese government

206
00:14:05,679 –> 00:14:11,000
announced the resumption of capital executions. The reinstated death penalty

207
00:14:11,159 –> 00:14:15,320
was intended for military personnel accused of treason, according to

208
00:14:15,360 –> 00:14:21,360
close watchers. Amnesty International, while condemning the execution of the prisoners,

209
00:14:21,440 –> 00:14:25,559
issued a press statement and stated that President Tischi secading

210
00:14:25,679 –> 00:14:30,159
must hold plans to carry out mass executions. Responding to

211
00:14:30,240 –> 00:14:33,559
reports that more than one hundred and seventy people under

212
00:14:33,679 –> 00:14:36,759
sentence of death have been transferred to Engender Prison for

213
00:14:36,840 –> 00:14:42,200
execution in the Democratic Republic of Congo DRC, Amnesty International’s

214
00:14:42,200 –> 00:14:46,279
Deputy Regional Director for East and Southern Africa, Sarah Jackson,

215
00:14:46,600 –> 00:14:51,600
said the announcement of these prison transfers is absolutely appalling,

216
00:14:52,039 –> 00:14:55,759
with fair eminent mass executions by the authorities amid a

217
00:14:55,840 –> 00:14:59,720
lack of reliable information about the status of people sentenced

218
00:14:59,720 –> 00:15:04,840
to the President Felix Tach seconding, most immediately publicly and

219
00:15:05,000 –> 00:15:09,200
unambiguously hold any plans to execute people in engener prison

220
00:15:09,399 –> 00:15:14,919
or elsewhere. Parliament should adopt a moratorium on executions pending

221
00:15:15,000 –> 00:15:19,279
full abolition of the death penalty with fair eminent mass

222
00:15:19,360 –> 00:15:23,279
executions by the authorities amid a lack of reliable information

223
00:15:23,440 –> 00:15:27,879
about the statles of people sentenced to death. Authorities must

224
00:15:27,919 –> 00:15:32,480
also stop mass transfers to remote prisons, including engener Ware.

225
00:15:32,559 –> 00:15:36,440
Dozens of the Tennese have previously died of starvation and disease.

226
00:15:37,240 –> 00:15:40,559
Any person transferred from the local area must be moved

227
00:15:40,559 –> 00:15:44,679
to a facility that can be easily reached by lawyers, relatives,

228
00:15:44,679 –> 00:15:48,120
and human rights organizations, and all should be informed of

229
00:15:48,159 –> 00:15:53,159
their whereabouts. Unlesty International added that on the fifth of

230
00:15:53,240 –> 00:15:58,919
January twenty twenty five, they assist Justice Minister Constance Mutamber

231
00:15:58,960 –> 00:16:03,080
announced that model one hundred and seventy people allegedly linked

232
00:16:03,120 –> 00:16:07,720
to criminal guns commonly known as kulana or bandits, have

233
00:16:07,840 –> 00:16:11,039
been transferred from the capital Kitschatter to Engendut prison in

Engineerware between eighteen and thirty five years old and had

236
00:16:19,039 –> 00:16:24,399
been involved in urban violence. Authorities have claimed resuming executions

237
00:16:24,399 –> 00:16:28,960
would help combat urban guns, a claim unsupported by any evidence.

238
00:16:29,759 –> 00:16:35,000
President Felix tach Secondary most immediately publicly and unambiguously hold

239
00:16:35,080 –> 00:16:38,960
any plans to execute people in Engineer prison or elsewhere.

240
00:16:39,679 –> 00:16:43,919
Newtamber has previously threatened people suspected of links to criminal

241
00:16:43,960 –> 00:16:48,919
guns with arrest, conviction and the death penalty even before trial.

242
00:16:49,720 –> 00:16:53,759
In March twenty twenty four, d Assist government announced it

243
00:16:53,919 –> 00:16:58,840
would resume executions following a two decad hriaturs. Since then,

244
00:16:59,360 –> 00:17:03,559
death sent since by military courts have sold. These sentences

245
00:17:03,639 –> 00:17:07,920
often follow on FAUR trials, including against alleged members of

246
00:17:08,039 –> 00:17:12,720
criminal GUIDs and armed groups, unless they international opposes the

247
00:17:12,799 –> 00:17:18,119
death penalty in all cases. Justice Minister Constant Mutamber also

248
00:17:18,240 –> 00:17:22,000

invite them to correct it in accordance with the law

00:20:06,079 –> 00:20:10,440
an apology for terrorism and totally unacceptable. Moyaya told a

00:20:59,759 –> 00:21:02,519
one of the towns means a lot in the escalating
