Dear colleagues,
I am very happy to inform you that we have found Dr. Kitwe Mulunda Guy
on Friday 4th July 2008 about 17:00 thanks to lawyers from the
Congolese civil society. Kitwe was detained in a military prison at 30
Km from the city of Lubumbashi in the absence of valid charges. Kitwe
is free and alive. He told us he has been beaten to death by
soldiers the first day of his arrest and he bleeded. He is headache and
physically weak. At the moment Kitwe is at the clinic centre in
Lubumbashi for physical examination and treatment.
On behalf of the SAVE CONGO and Kitwe's family, I thank you so much for
your collaboration and support. Also, thanks a lot for your prayers.
Kind regards,
Irène Mikombe
