Congo bishop says those who speak out on violence face maiming

A cleric who has in the past spoken out against injustices emanating from violence that ravages people in the east of the Democratic Republic of Congo due to regional inter-ethnic violence, has said he is now afraid to talk about it.

The Congolese bishop, who did not wish to be named, said a Rwandan rebel group in the DRC is gouging out local people's eyes and maiming others as a response to condemnation of their crimes against innocent civilians.
