Noble Peace prize winner,Denis mukwege under threat for calling for international investigation in the kipupu killings

On july 26, Nobel Peace Prize winner Denis Mukwege wrote: “These are the same people who keep killing us. Kipupu's macabre accounts are in line with the massacres that have hit the DRC since 1996. "
This tweet came 10 days after the militia attacked civilians in the locality of Kipupu (Mwenga territory) in South Kivu. Dr Mukwege claims to have “received various hate mail and members of my family were intimidated and threatened. ”Following this denunciation.
"No intellectual malfeasance, no threat, no use of fear, will prevent me from expressing myself on the reality of the atrocities that the populations of my country are experiencing and whose aftermath I treat every day in my hospital in Bukavu. ", He wrote this Friday in a statement entitled" Call for peace. "
After more than two weeks of silence, the authorities in South Kivu, with the support of Monusco, succeeded in dispatching a mission to Kipupu on Thursday to take stock of the situation and give the final assessment of the bloody attack which is chronic. A total of 15 people have been killed and more than 200 missing to date.
The Nobel Peace Prize winner supported the need to unearth the mapping report drawn up by the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights. This report reviews the most serious violations of human rights and international humanitarian law committed on the territory of the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) between March 1993 and June 2003. This document then drew up an inventory of 617 war crimes and crimes of humanity. If these crimes are brought before a competent court, some of the atrocities documented in the Mapping report could constitute the crime of genocide.
“It seems that advocating the creation of a special jurisdiction to try crimes in Congo scares some people who pour their hatred on social media by pitting one against the other, often on the basis of lies. Reconciliation between peoples and the establishment of reparations for the victims cannot be achieved without our relentless search for the truth. ", He launched in his message.
On Thursday, Mukwege received a delegation from the Banyamulenge community as part of the search for solutions to the conflicts and multiple tensions are still high in the high and middle plateaus of Uvira, Minembwe and Itombwe where armed groups have community support.You can read more on this  and More here

In the letter, the signatories - which include tech justice NGO Foxglove and digital rights campaigners Access Now - say the proposed app could be another step towards a surveillance state. Campaign groups have written an open letter to UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson warning GCHQ and its digital arm, the National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC), will have the capacity to re-identify the phones of people who install the country’s coronavirus contact-tracing app. They also note the legal framework underpinning the software, which is currently being trialled on the Isle of Wight, is believed to be inadequate to protect people from misuse of their data by the Joint Committee on Human Rights. “Parliament has to quickly issue an adequate legal framework that guarantees users’ human rights protection.
