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, according to Congolese authorities. The convicts, known locally as 'Kulunas' or 'urban bandits,' have been convicted of armed robbery and are aged between 18 and 35.
Seventy of the prisoners were transported on Sunday, with an additional 102 already sent to Angenga prison in the northern Mongala province. The Minister of Justice did not specify the date of the executions.
