press release

Authorities in the Democratic Republic of Congo should investigate threats against at least four journalists in the eastern city of Bukavu and bring the perpetrators to justice, the Committee to Protect Journalists said today.

"We condemn the threats and acts of intimidation against journalists in Bukavu who are simply doing their jobs," said CPJ Africa Advocacy Coordinator Mohamed Keita. "We hold authorities in the Democratic Republic of Congo responsible for the safety and well-being of all journalists and urge them to investigate these reported threats."
