According to Amnesty International, nineteen other prisoners were executed in and around Kinshasa between January 28 and February 2, 2000. No executions are known to have taken place between July 1999 and January 28, 2000. There are 61 people on death row who risk execution, despite assurances given last year by the government of the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) that a moratorium on executions was in place. Many of the 61 men, who are on death row at the Kinshasa Penitentiary and Re-education Centre (CPRK), were reportedly convicted by the Military Order Court (COM) of violent offences, including murder and armed robbery. At least one of them, Kasilibani Kabamba, was reportedly found guilty of treason. According to sources in Kinshasa the 61 prisoners have been moved from Block (pavilion) Six to Block Two of the CPRK. Other death row prisoners were reported to have been moved to Block Two before they were executed.
