More than seven prisoners have died at Bukavu's central prison in the space of two weeks, the Sud-Kivu Civil Society Consultation Framework reported on Thursday (March 23rd). She attributes these deaths to the lack of food in this penitentiary establishment. However, the director of this prison speaks rather of five deaths following an illness.
The deaths are real at Bukavu central prison, but sources do not agree on their exact number or their cause, noted the Radio Okapi reporter.
The president of the Civil Society Consultation Framework, Zozo Sakali supports the hypothesis of hunger which killed seven detainees. He indexes the government which, according to him, has failed in its duty to feed the prisoners properly.
The Radio Okapi reporter who went to Bukavu central prison on Thursday found a trailer truck there unloading firewood that had obviously been hastily collected for cooking.
For the director of this prison, Ilunga Dilamuna Nkonde, the prisoners are fed regularly. Those who died are by disease, without specifying which one.
Two other prisoners found at the scene were in critical condition.
Planned for 500 residents, this prison accommodates more than 2000.
