Demand justice for the Congolese people

In the last two decades, the people of the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) have endured horrific human rights violations. Most of these violations have not been investigated, those responsible have not been prosecuted and victims have been denied justice and redress. However, the November 2011 elections and a re-elected President provide fresh hopes that the Congolese may finally see justice done.

Let’s seize this opportunity to support the Congolese people in their fight for justice. Click here to download a solidarity action of writing postcards to human rights defenders in DRC.

In addition, we need to pressure the DRC authorities and the international community to make justice a priority in the new legislature.
