Fils Mukoko’s threatening remarks prompt action from the government, CSAC and justice system

After UDPS official Fils Mukoko threatened on social media to arm young people to target Western nationals in the DRC, authorities took several measures. The CSAC barred him from speaking in the media and on social networks for 88 days, citing, among other grounds, respect for human life and diplomatic missions. Kinshasa’s governor also removed him from his position as deputy director general of RASKIN. Justice Minister Guillaume Ngefa Atondoko asked the prosecutor general at the Court of Cassation to investigate the remarks attributed to Mukoko in a video.
