Overcrowding, lack of food, disease ... In September alone, 14 inmates died in the main prison in Goma, the capital of North Kivu in the Democratic Republic of Congo. Images of inmates crammed into tents and photos of bodies being removed leaked onto social networks in mid-October. Our Observers told us about the alarming living conditions in this prison, which holds ten times more prisoners than its intended capacity.
Men, most of them emaciated, sitting on the floor and crammed by the dozen under tents. These are the images from inside Munzenze prison, Goma's central prison, which have been leaked in WhatsApp groups since October 5.
