More than 170 inmates on death row have been transferred from Congo's capital to a high-security prison in the north, where they are set to be executed. The convicts, known locally as 'Kulunas' or 'urban bandits,' have been convicted of armed robbery. The men, aged between 18 and 35, are being moved to Angenga prison in the northern Mongala province.
The Minister of Justice, Constant Mutamba, confirmed that 70 convicts were transported on Sunday, adding to the 102 prisoners who were already sent to the facility. The exact date of the executions has not been disclosed.
