04 12 11 – Human Rights Watch Welcomes Judicial Investigation into Electoral Violence in DR Congo

 

“Ending impunity for
serious crimes is essential to strengthen the rule of law in Congo,”
said Anneke Van Woudenberg, senior Africa
researcher at Human Rights Watch. “We are encouraged by the
government's quick reaction to the recently reported violations. We very much
hope that justice will be done for the victims of abuses and their
families.”
