Human Rights Defender at Risk: Justine Masika Bihamba

Targeted for her human rights work in Democratic Republic of Congo, Justine Masika Bihamba's children were tied up at gunpoint by six army soldiers; her two children were assaulted, and the 21 year-old daughter was sexually assaulted. No charges have been brought up against these soldiers.

Take action today and call on President Joseph Kabila:
1) to conduct a full and impartial investigation into the attack
2) to urge him to bring the perpetrators to justice
3) to provide immediate protection Justine Masika Bihamba and her family.
