DRC: Journalist released after five months without hearing

Papy Tembe Moroni, a cameraman and reporter with the privately-owned Canal Congo Television (CCTV), has been released after being detained for 132 days in the cells of Kinshasa's Secret Service Police and at the Centre pénitentiaire et de rééducation de Kinshasa (CPRK), Kinshasa's main prison. The "provisional" release is part of an action undertaken by new Justice Minister Minsayi Booka that would see detainees who have served at least a quarter of their sentence or who were irregularly detained released in order to free up space in the country's overcrowded jails.
