Description
A military court sentences a DR Congo MP to death on charges of treason and involvement in the M23 rebel movement, with his lawyer denouncing the trial as based on "ethnic hatred". The death penalty is often handed down in the Democratic Republic of Congo, but has not been applied for 20 years and is systematically commuted to life imprisonment. The accused, Edouard Mwangachuchu, was not present at the sentencing. IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
