Amnesty International UK has called for the release of two Congolese teachers who have been arrested in connection with a peaceful strike and held for a week without charge. Hilaire Eyima, head of the French department at the Lycée de la Révolution, was arrested at his home on April 18, and Claude Nzingoula, a teacher at the medical school in the capital Brazzaville, was arrested on April 19. Both are being held at the General Directorate for the Surveillance of the Territory. These are the latest in a string of arrests and harassment of members of a coalition of teachers’ unions in the Republic of Congo called CPRE. Visit: www.amnesty.org.uk
