Jonas Kabuyaya and Mbula, RCD-ML officials, who are members of a Ugandan-backed armed opposition group in the DRC, have been arrested by a rival faction of the group. They are held in conditions amounting to cruel, inhuman and degrading treatment, and have reportedly been severely beaten. They are believed to be at risk of summary execution or “disappearance”.
