Amnesty Calls for DRC Officials Investigation

Amnesty International has called for an investigation into three senior officials in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) over their roles in a violent crackdown on demonstrators last year, which resulted in at least 56 deaths in Goma. The report urges President Félix Tshisekedi to suspend the implicated officials and to investigate the UN Stabilisation Mission's involvement. Meanwhile, on Human Rights Day, the U.S. and EU condemned China's transnational repression, urging their member states to protect dissidents and hold accountable those responsible for human rights violations. In response to growing global concerns, the U.S. State Department is implementing new visa restrictions on individuals involved in wrongful detentions. Additionally, unrest continues in Georgia following disputed elections, leading to violent clashes between police and protesters, prompting international condemnation. The situation in India similarly reflects deteriorating human rights as police investigations ramp up following deadly riots that raised accountability questions.
