"When you're asked to account for yourself, you say you're in the opposition": Félix Tshisekedi justifies Prince Epenge's arrest and defends his human rights record

In Moscow, where he attended the Russia-Africa summit, Félix Tshisekedi defended his human rights record and rejected accusations of dictatorship from his opponents, including Joseph Kabila. He contrasted opposition demonstrations in Kinshasa during his presidency with deadly violence under Kabila and called allegations connected to the death of Manasse Lomboto, an associate of Prince Epenge, a setup. Tshisekedi said Epenge was arrested to clarify the facts, arguing that opposition status does not exempt anyone from accountability. Epenge is president of ADD Congo, a C64 official, and spokesperson for Lamuka.
