DRC Reinstates Death Penalty
The Democratic Republic of Congo recently reinstated the death penalty after more than two-decades. The decision was made as authorities struggle to curb violence and militant attacks. The justice ministry said the ban from 2003 allowed offenders accused of treason and espionage to escape proper punishment. For more on the issue, Zihindula Mulegwa, an attorney and former spokesperson for President Joseph Kabila of the DRC, spoke to VOA's Paul Ndiho.
