Title: The AGPC party takes up the fight against harassment of its president Carole Agito Amela
Introduction :
In a context where online harassment is becoming increasingly worrying, the Agir pour le Congo (AGPC) party has decided to take action to protect its president, Carole Agito Amela. Victim of a series of harassment for a few weeks, this Congolese senator faces unwanted phone calls and threats of broadcasting alleged compromising videos. To counter these malicious acts, the AGPC decided to file a complaint and ask the Congolese courts to dismantle this clandestine network. A look back at a situation that highlights the challenges of the digital age and the importance of protecting the dignity and image of Congolese women.
Untimely and threatening harassment:
For nearly three weeks, Carole Agito Amela has been the victim of incessant phone calls from ill-intentioned individuals posing as journalists who are trying to extort money from her. This untimely harassment took an even more worrying turn when the harassers threatened to broadcast compromising videos implicating the president of the AGPC party. These acts of cyberbullying are intended to tarnish Carole Agito Amela’s image and discredit her publicly.
A firm response from the AGPC:
Faced with this situation, the AGPC has decided not to stand idly by. In a press release, the party denounced these acts of harassment and announced the filing of a complaint with the General Prosecutor’s Office of Gombe. The mothers of the party, unfailing support of Carole Agito Amela, expressed their confidence in Congolese justice and demanded the dismantling of this clandestine network which harms the dignity of Congolese women. This legal action is consistent with Congolese cybersecurity laws and underscores AGPC’s commitment to upholding the dignity of its members.
The valorization of the Congolese woman:
Beyond the legal response, the Carole Agito Amela case highlights the importance of promoting Congolese women. Sophie Supa Lemama, deputy general secretary of the AGPC, underlines that this cause is noble and just, because it is a question of promoting the valorization of the woman as mother, wife and promise for the future. The harassment suffered by Carole Agito Amela is an attack on the dignity of all Congolese women, and it is essential to combat this threat by putting in place protective measures and raising awareness of the problem of cyberbullying.

By filing a complaint and asking for the dismantling of the network of harassers, the AGPC is showing its determination to fight against this scourge..
