Funeral Held for Congolese Human Rights Activist
------------------------------------------------



In the Democratic Republic of Congo, hundreds of people streamed through
Kinshasa on Saturday for the funeral of Floribert Chebeya, one of
Congo’s top human rights activists. Chebeya was found dead in his car
two weeks ago after being summoned to meet the chief of the national
police. Supporters of Chebeya have called for an independent probe into
his death.

Therese Mwuzinga: "We are not going to stop. We are here to get justice.
We are not here just to waste our breath, but we are here to get
justice. We have a way of justice and responsibility. The way of Chebeya
is the way of justice."
