Amaphoyisa aseBrazil abophe abantu abathathu ngemuva kokushaywa kabuhlungu kombaleki waseCongo, okuthathwe ezithombeni zekhamera yezokuphepha esitodlwaneni esingasogwini lolwandle eRio de Janeiro, kwaqubula ikhwelo lokuthi kwenziwe ubulungiswa kanye nemibhikisho ehleliwe emadolobheni amakhulu.
UMoise Kabagambe, oneminyaka engama-24, ushaywe phansi ngezinduku ngamadoda amathathu ngesonto eledlule, izithombe ezikhishwe amaphoyisa ngoLwesibili ziyakhombisa. Wayeboshiwe. Abaphenyi babheka ama-akhawunti ofakazi okuthi uKabagambe wabulawa ngemuva kokufuna ukubuyiselwa imali izinsuku ezimbili ephakela iziphuzo esitolo. Amaphoyisa abophe abasolwa abathathu ngoLwesibili kanti afuna owesine. Isikhulu samaphoyisa uHenrique Damasceno uthe umnikazi wesitolo usize ekuboneni abahlaseli ngokubanikeza ividiyo yezokuphepha futhi akazange abambe iqhaza ekushayweni.
UKabagambe wafika eBrazil eminyakeni eyishumi edlule engumbaleki ovela eDemocratic Republic of Congo futhi wayefundela ezokwakha, ngokusho komndeni wakhe, osekhuthaze imibhikisho efuna ubulungiswa. “Sifuna ubulungiswa,” kusho umama kaKabagambe u-Ivana etshela izintatheli. “Ukhulele lapha eBrazil. Angikholwa ukuthi lokhu kwenzekile.” Umphakathi waseCongo kanye nezinhlangano ezilwela amalungelo abantu abaNsundu bacele umbhikisho ngoMgqibelo wesitolo esisebhishi iBarra de Tijuca eningizimu yeRio, kanye nombhikisho ngasikhathi sinye eSao Paulo. I-Human Rights Watch ithe ukubulawa kukaKabagambe okunodlame ngoMasingana zingama-24 “kufanele ukuphikwa ngokuphelele ngumphakathi waseBrazil” njengoba kuza esimweni sokwanda kodlame olubhekiswe kubantu abamnyama eBrazil
Inxusa laseDemocratic Republic of Congo licele ukuthi kwenziwe uphenyo olunzulu futhi lathi sekuyisigameko sesihlanu sokubulawa komuntu ovela eCongo eBrazil kusukela ngowezi-2019. Umnyango, owaziwa nge-Itamaraty, uthe ephepheni, “I-Itamaraty izwakalisa intukuthelo yayo ngokubulala ngesihluku futhi inethemba lokuthi labo abathintekayo bazobhekana nengalo yomthetho ngokushesha okukhulu.” IBrazil ithole ababaleki baseCongo abangama-900 kusukela ngowezi-2016 futhi iningi labo lihlala eRio de Janeiro naseSao Paulo, ngokusho koMnyango Wezobulungiswa, obhekelele abokufika.
