Wednesday, the human rights leader of Voix des Sans Voix (Voice of the Voiceless), Floribert Chebeya Bahizire, was found dead in his car in Congo. He appeared to have been strangled after meeting with John Numbi, inspector general of the National Police. Many rights groups within Congo believe that Numbi is the one responsible and plan to talk about it in court. State security services was ordered to investigate Chebaya’s death. Sadly, Chebaya’s family and U.N. representatives were originally denied access to the body but then allowed limited access leading to speculation that someone is trying to cover up the truth about Chebaya’s death.
