ENGLISH VERSION The director - coordinator of the RTNC2 (Congolese National Radio & Television 2) Mr Lutu Mabangu was arrested and transferred to the central prison of Makala in inhuman conditions, he is being deprived since of his freedom and his family is without news. He suffers from diabetes and needs daily medical care. He has started serving his country:The Democratic Republic of the Congo for almost 40 years now with the same passion, the same dedication and especially with the honesty which we know him; he does not deserve this kind of treatments. These hooligans' methods remind us of darkest years this country has already faced. According to certain sources, he is a victim of a cabal orchestrated by his hierarchy and some individuals close to the current regime .

 

FRENCH VERSION Le directeur-coordonnateur de la RTNC2 monsieur Lutu Mabangu a été arrêté et transféré à la prison centrale de Makala dans des conditions inhumaines, il est depuis lors privé de sa liberté et sa famille est sans nouvelles. Il est diabétique et a besoin des soins quotidien. Il sert son pays:la République Démocratique du Congo depuis presque 40 ans avec la même passion, le même dévouement et surtout avec l'honnêteté qu'on lui connait; il ne mérite pas ce genre de traitements. Ces méthodes de voyous nous rappellent des années obscures de notre pays... d'après certaines sources ,il serait victime d'une cabale orchestrée par sa hiérarchie et quelques proches du régime.

I am currently working with local human rights lawyers to demand medical access for Lutu while he remains in prison. Post the link to this petition on your Facebook wall today. Send an email to your local representative to ask them to pressure the Congolese authorities for his release.

The momentum behind this campaign is growing and it proves that people refuse to look away while Lutu Mabangu suffers. Post the petition link on Facebook right now to keep the pressure on his captors. Call your representative to demand they address this injustice against a dedicated public servant.

He is sick and needs his medicine. Keeping him in prison in these conditions is just cruel and inhumane.
