DETENTION INCOMMUNICADO OF 50 CIVILIANS BY THE RCD AT BIRIGA-UVIRA
The administrator of the Uvira area in South Kivu, Mr. Mulumbe Majaliwa who was then accompanied by several soldiers of the RCD (the rebel movement in control of South Kivu) ordered an arbitrary arrest of 50 civilians on 31 July 2001. All the 50 people were then loaded into a lorry, which took them to an unknown destination.
Reliable information from Uvira indicate that the authority was holding a public rally with local people of the village in question, when suddenly the soldiers who were with him started the arrest of the 50 local people on the grounds that they belonged to the local anti- RCD militia called mai-mai. The unfortunates arrested local people were handcuffed, ill treated, beaten and taken to an unknown destination. Several sources of information indicate that those arrested have already been forcibly integrated into the RCD's army.
Biriga is a small village within the Uvira district. The arrest occurred at 4 kms away from Sange, another village found on the main road between the towns of Uvira and Bukavu. The inhabitants of Biriga are estimated up to 800.
