DRC: Several presidential communicators sent to Makala over digital offenses, says Guillaume Ngefa

Congolese Justice Minister Guillaume Ngefa said several people, including individuals claiming to be presidential communicators, have been sent to Makala prison for digital-related offenses. Speaking at a press briefing with Communications Minister Patrick Muyaya Katembwe, he said the law would apply to everyone regardless of political affiliation. Cases are underway, and prosecutors are increasingly taking up offenses committed on social media; Ngefa said two trials have already been held at Makala and prosecutions could rise.
