DRC: Press in protest closure

No newspapers were published in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) for a day in protest at the killing of a reporter 10 days ago, according to a report on Irinnnews.org. "A day without newspapers throughout the country; it is our way of protesting against those who want to muffle the freedom of the press and that of expression. We are not afraid of death, but we will continue doing our work," John Richard Kasonga, the secretary of the National Union of the Congolese Press, said. The protest was held July 18.
