US and British citizens among 37 sentenced to death in DR Congo coup trial

[BBC] Thirty-seven people - including three Americans, a Briton, a Belgian and a Canadian national - have been sentenced to death over an attempt to overthrow the president of the Democratic Republic of Congo.

The men were accused of leading an attack on both the presidential palace and the home of an ally of President Félix Tshisekedi in May.

Christian Malanga, a US national of Congolese origin, the suspected leader of the plot, was killed during the attack, along with five others.
Some personal risk appears to have been involved.
In total 51 people were tried in a military court, with hearings broadcast on national TV and radio.

#3 No, no protest. No media. The matter will likely be handled quietly. Tshisekedi will be seen as a benevalent dictator who wishes to put the entire matter behind him, for the right price of course.
