Title: Butuhe Civil Society Honorary President Assassinated
On the night of Thursday, June 2, Kakule Mbalikiriri Moise Leonard, honorary president of civil society in Butuhe, was murdered in his home using firearms. The attackers were masked, suggesting that they were trying to hide their identity. Kakule Mbalikiriri Moise Leonard was shot in the leg and another in the chest.

This assassination is a new blow for Congolese civil society, which plays a crucial role in the defense of human rights and the fight against corruption.
