The inhumane treatment of six Congolese refugees who were expelled from the United States provoked outrage after the publication of videos and photos.
It was discovered that Congolese refugees were chained and forced to wear diapers to prevent them from using the toilet.
Some testified that they spent 30 hours while others over 20 hours in this registered jet “N7176S”.
Saul Mbenga, a Congolese human rights activist, shared the video and wrote;
A bad image for the United States is emerging in Africa !!!
The Congolese Minister of Human Rights reacts in a statement
The Minister of Human Rights, Mrs. Mushobekwa, boarded the US plane to inquire about the situation, along with the head of the Directorate General of Migration (DGM) who alerted the Congolese authorities.
She said in a statement to the press: “These compatriots came handcuffed, chained to the ankles and hips like slaves with two Zambian citizens, they even had to wear diapers so they could not get up to go to the bathroom.”
“It is for this reason that we refused to welcome these Congolese and decided to return the plane that departed with its passengers,” said Ms. Mushobekwa.
