*Fatshimetrie, the Congolese online information portal par excellence, reports news of capital importance: the release of Papy Pungu, former president of the youth league of the People’s Party for Reconstruction and Democracy (PPRD). This decision, which occurred this Saturday, May 4, follows a prolonged period of detention.*
*Master Dave Tishangand, counsel to Papy Pungu, confirmed this provisional release to Fatshimetrie, emphasizing the efforts made to achieve this long-awaited outcome. Papy Pungu was secretly detained at the National Intelligence Agency (ANR) for four months before being transferred to Makala central prison last April.*
*According to information relayed by Fatshimetrie, the arrest of Papy Pungu sparked strong reactions, with some denouncing harassment against him because of his close links with former President Joseph Kabila. Involved in political life for many years, Papy Pungu, former deputy minister of water resources and electricity, was arrested on December 27 in Haut-Katanga, when he was going to Zambia for vacation.*
*The provisional release of Papy Pungu marks a significant step in this affair which has hit the headlines and raised many questions. Fatshimetrie will continue to closely monitor the evolution of this situation and keep its readers informed of the latest developments.*
