Kinshasa, November 9th, 2026 (CPA). – The publication of two human rights reports on the manifestations of the political opposition and the presidential party in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), respectively organized on September 15th and 22nd, 2026, notably in Kinshasa, is scheduled for Wednesday, according to a statement from a civil society organisation consulted on Monday.
“The human rights reports on the manifestations organised by the Article 64 Coalition (C64), a political opposition platform, and the Union for Democracy and Social Progress (UDPS), a presidential party, on September 15th and September 22nd, 2026 respectively, are ready for publication.
They will be published on Wednesday, November 11th, 2026, by the National Human Rights Commission (CNDH-RDC),” the communications unit of this institution supporting democracy has reported.
The CNDH-RDC had deployed its observers during these two manifestations, notably in Kinshasa, to monitor the human rights situation.
Having gathered all the necessary information and drafted these reports, the CNDH-RDC intends to publish its account of the events following a field observation mission, the source has indicated.
The CNDH-DRC, through its president Paul Nsapu, had demanded organisers of the manifestations and the public authorities its involvement in all discussions and manifestations, in accordance with its institutional remit to monitor human rights situations in the country.
This has justified the presence of experts from this democracy-supporting institution at all these political gatherings. ACP/
