Description
An American on trial in the Democratic Republic of Congo over an alleged coup bid suffered "torture" during his arrest, his lawyer tells the court. Taylor Christian Thomson, 21, is one of three Americans among 51 defendants being tried at the military court in the capital Kinshasa. On May 19, armed men attacked the home of Economy Minister Vital Kamerhe in the early hours before moving onto the nearby Palais de la Nation that houses President Felix Tshisekedi's offices.
