"Dozens of suspected illegal diamond miners, including children, are being shot dead every year, and many more are being seriously wounded, by security guards who are flouting the law with apparently complete impunity," the organization added.

In "Deadly conspiracies" , a new report published today on the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), Amnesty International said over 100 people from the Kivu region of eastern DRC are currently held incommunicado and are at risk of torture or execution. Most of them have been detained without charge since late 2000 in connection with an alleged coup plot. Several dozen others were arrested in the wake of the assassination of President Laurent-Desire Kabila in January 2001. Amnesty International fears that some of these individuals are being arbitrarily detained simply because they are from the Kivu region. "Confirmation that 11 Lebanese nationals were killed by unidentified members of the security services around mid-January 2001 highlights the sheer extent to which the rule of law is flouted in the DRC," Amnesty International added.

Foreign shopkeepers have been told they must conform with new trading rules no later than December 31 or face prosecution. Reuters news agency reported October 8 that the new rules require foreign shopkeepers to invest (deposit) a minimum of $500,000 in order to continue doing business. Some observers believe the intent is to limit jobs in the sector to Congolese nationals and control the circulation of currency in the country.
Extractions: President Laurent-Désiré Kabila came to power in May 1997 promising to bring an end to 32 years of dictatorship and human rights violations under former President Mobutu Sese Seko. In reality, the limited human rights gains that the people of the former Zaire, renamed the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) in May 1997, had made since 1990 have been systematically eroded over the past two-and-a-half years. This was the conclusion of Amnesty International delegates who visited the DRC in August 1999. Although security concerns for witnesses and victims of human rights abuses, as well as refusal by the authorities to allow them to visit detention centres, made it difficult to gather information, the organization's representatives reported a state in which the DRC was intolerant of dissent. Even real or suspected peaceful dissent is severely repressed with imprisonment, or torture and other forms of cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment. Dozens of leaders and supporters of opposition political parties are routinely detained for periods ranging from a few days to many months. Other government critics being targeted include human rights defenders and journalists. Most of those detained are held without charge or trial, while some are tried and sentenced, usually by a special military court known as the

Dozens of leaders and supporters of opposition political parties are routinely detained for periods ranging from a few days to many months. Other government critics being targeted include human rights defenders and journalists. Most of those detained are held without charge or trial, while some are tried and sentenced, usually by a special military court known as the Cour d'ordre militaire (COM), Military Order Court, to long prison terms for their non-violent opposition to the government. Those accused of political offences are routinely subjected to beatings at the time of their arrest and in custody. Amnesty International representatives received reports of torture, including rape, of detainees. The authorities have also used the military court to punish people accused of economic crimes, such as fraud or illicit dealing in foreign currency, some of whom have been sentenced to death .

Extractions: The Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) Government's recent ban of the country's leading human rights organization is the latest move in a crackdown on local human rights activists, Amnesty International declared today as it warned that repressive measures against other organizations may follow. The ban on AZADHO, Association zairoise de de[/]fense des droits de l'homme, Zairian Association for the Defence of Human Rights, was imposed on 3 April. "The government is clearly taking steps to make independent human rights work in the DRC impossible as it shows its increasing intolerance towards any dissenting voices in the country," Amnesty International said. On the very same day that it banned AZADHO, the DRC government, as a member of the United Nations (UN) Commission on Human Rights, joined in the consensus on the adoption of a resolution to protect the rights of human rights defenders. The UN Human Rights Commission recommended that the declaration on human rights defenders be adopted by the Economic and Social Council and the UN General Assembly later this year. "The DRC Government is speaking with two voices promising to respect human rights at a meeting in Geneva, then stifling the work of those same defenders at home," Amnesty International said.
