Amnesty International said it was "gravely concerned" that up to 115 people faced imminent execution for their alleged role in the January 2001 assassination of the former president of the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Laurent-Desire Kabila. "President Joseph Kabila [the late Kabila's son] should demonstrate his personal commitment to human rights by making it clear that no death sentences will be passed as a result of the assassination trial," Amnesty said in a report issued entitled Democratic Republic of Congo: From Assassination to Murder?
