Prosecutors have called for 50 individuals, including three Americans, to face the death penalty for their alleged involvement in a coup attempt earlier this year in the Democratic Republic of Congo. The Congolese army claims that the attempted coup, led by opposition figure Christian Malanga, resulted in six fatalities and targeted key government installations.
Military prosecutor Lieutenant Colonel Innocent Radjabu has urged the judges to impose the death penalty on all defendants except for one individual who reportedly suffers from psychological issues. The charges against the defendants, which include terrorism, murder, and criminal association, carry severe penalties, including death.
