The trial of those who tried to remove
Tshisekedi from power will take place in Ndolo prison.
The Supreme Military Court on June 7, 2024
is trying 53 people who tried to remove President Félix Tshisekedi Tshilombo
from power in the Democratic Republic of the Congo.
This attempt which took place in the early
hours of May 19, 2024 was led by Congolese Christian Malanga who had the
citizenship of the United States of America. Before he was shot, his fighters
attacked the home of the Minister of Economy, Vital Kamerhe, and the office of
President Tshisekedi.
The spokesperson of the RDC army, Gen Maj
Sylvain Ekenge, announced that more than 50 people who attempted this operation
were arrested, promising that they will be prosecuted by the justice system. Among
the defendants are Benjamin Zalman Polun who lived in the United States, Marcel
Malanga who was Malanga's son, Taylor Christa Thomson who is Marcel's friend
and Jean-Jacques Wondo; One-Congo was a consultant to the RDC's investigative
unit.
Military prosecutors charge them with
crimes including terrorist activities, illegal possession of weapons and
ammunition, attempted murder, complicity, murder and support for terrorist
activities.
The trial will take place at the Ndolo
military prison in Kinshasa, where all of them have been detained since their
arrest.
