DR Congo President Pledges Amnesty For Political Prisoners.

Recently elected DR Congo President Felix Tshisekedi pledged Saturday to pardon political prisoners and said he would work for the return of those who had fled abroad for political reasons.

“Within 10 days I am going to grant a presidential pardon in favour of political prisoners who have been convicted by a final court judgment,” he said. On Wednesday however, dozens of people were arrested during rights protests in DR Congo, activists said, in an incident likely to pose a fresh challenge for Tshisekedi.

It marked the country’s first-ever peaceful transfer of power since independence from Belgium in 1960.
