Thursday, January 23, senators considered the text submitted by the government that provides amnesty for crimes committed before July 1, 2003.
However, the accused in the assassination of President Laurent Kabila were tried in January 2003. The lawyer Eric Miza who represents eighteen of Sentenced Persons, senators should have included those convicted, and should have been done in the name of national unity process. He hoped that members will correct the law at the second time.
“The bill passed its first evaluation in the Senate; it remains second in the National Assembly. We believe that it will make an effort to correct this void occasioned by the Senate.”
