In this article, we address the situation of Franck Diongo, president of the Progressive Lumumbist Movement (MLP), detained at Military Intelligence in Ngaliema. While worrying rumors circulated about his state of health, a recent video shows Franck Diongo in good health and chatting with others. However, despite his physical appearance, the conditions of detention of Franck Diongo remain worrying. National and international voices have been raised to denounce these conditions and demand transparency in its treatment. It is essential to ensure prison conditions that are dignified and respectful of human rights, regardless of a person’s political affiliation. The recent video shed some light on Franck Diongo’s state of health, but this should not make us forget the importance of continuing our efforts to ensure fair and humane conditions of detention for all.
