A Polish man who was sentenced to life in prison on espionage charges in Congo has been released, according to Poland's Foreign Minister. The man, identified as a 52-year-old named Mariusz Majewski, was detained in Congo in February and faced a military court in the Central African nation.
The allegations against Majewski included accusations of approaching the front line with Mobondo militiamen, taking photos of sensitive and strategic places, and secretly observing military activities. The Mobondo is a militia group involved in intercommunal violence in southwestern Congo.
