Arrest warrant issued for DR Congo opposition leader
An arrest warrant was issued today for a former Democratic Republic (DR) of Congo warlord who took refuge inside a foreign embassy while his personal army and government troops fought in the capital.
Prosecutor Tsaimanga Mukenda said neither Jean-Pierre Bemba’s immunity as a senator nor the fact that he had sought refuge in the South African Embassy would stop him from seeking his arrest on charges of high treason.
