Funeral Held for Congolese Human Rights Activist

HeadlineJun 28, 2010

In the Democratic Republic of Congo, hundreds of people streamed through Kinshasa on Saturday for the funeral of Floribert Chebeya, one of Congo’s top human rights activists. Chebeya was found dead in his car two weeks ago after being summoned to meet the chief of the national police. Supporters of Chebeya have called for an independent probe into his death.

Therese Mwuzinga: “We are not going to stop. We are here to get justice. We are not here just to waste our breath, but we are here to get justice. We have a way of justice and responsibility. The way of Chebeya is the way of justice.”
