DRC: Éric Tshikuma's draft laws on religious and associative freedoms at the heart of a legislative Hackathon organized by Ebuteli

Éric Tshikuma's draft laws on freedom of association and freedoms of thought, conscience, and religion were discussed at a legislative Hackathon in Kinshasa. This event brought together civil society actors and legal experts to analyze these initiatives ahead of the September 2026 parliamentary session. Participants made recommendations, including the establishment of a neutral oversight mechanism to enhance the draft laws. The discussions resulted in concrete proposals aimed at ensuring the exercise of these freedoms without disproportionate restrictions.
