Civil society in Goma denounces the conditions of preservation of the bodies of the victims of the demonstration of August 30, which are in an advanced state of decomposition. She urges the authorities of the state of siege to provide dignified funerals for these victims and demands that the perpetrators of the massacres be brought to justice. Faced with the inaction of the authorities, civil society is threatening to organize new demonstrations. The provincial government announced the organization of funerals this week, but it is crucial that measures are taken quickly to respect the rights of the victims and their families.
