Aubin Minaku, former president of the Democratic Republic of Congo's National Assembly and a senior figure in ex-president Joseph Kabila's PPRD party, has been held for over three months in an undisclosed location after being arrested at his home in January. His wife, Daddie Minaku, says she is blindfolded and escorted by police whenever she is permitted to visit him, and has written to the country's National Cyber Defence Council (CNC) — the security body overseeing his detention — to denounce what she calls "degrading treatment." The case has drawn international attention, with Minaku's family having referred his situation to the UN Working Group on Arbitrary Detention in mid-March, while party colleagues say they have never been allowed any access to him and are demanding he be brought before a competent court.
