In World NEWs,
Scott Edwards has brought to our attention on the IMC News feed that
Human rights watch said last week that the Peoples Armed Forces of Congo have tortured 24 people and killed six of them. The civilians were accused of killing two soldiers and then brought to a military camp where they were beaten with wooden sticks in an underground prison. Two of the detainees were executed and four died later of their injuries. The rest were released after a local chief paid off the soldiers.
The BBC has reported that Papa Wemba is facing 10 years imprisonment and a 750 000 euro fine for purchasing visas for congolese nationals. Papa Wemba is an african singer of the griot tradition and is one of the worlds most famous musicians. France has charged him with illegal immigration.
