Protesters in Congo call for the release of political prisoners

Hundreds protested in front of Congo's top court Wednesday to demand the release of political prisoners, including the country's three most prominent opposition figures imprisoned on charges the opposition says are politically motivated.
 
The president of the central African country which has a history riddled with political turmoil, was reelected in December with results questioned by the opposition.
 
He has spent much of his time in office trying to gain legitimacy after a disputed 2018 election while struggling to quell violence in the country's east to the disgruntlement of many.
