As the violence escalates in eastern DRC, Canadian diplomat Nicolas Simard finds it inconceivable that death threats could be made against Dr. Mukwege.

“Canada is working closely with Nobel Prize winner Denis Mukwege and his team at the Panzi Foundation to support survivors of gender-based and sexual violence. It is unacceptable that death threats can be made against him as violence escalates in eastern DRC. We urge an end to impunity to ensure lasting peace in the region, ”wrote the Canadian Ambassador to the DRC.

Dr. Mukwege also reiterated his call for "the creation of a special jurisdiction to try crimes in the Congo".
