DRC: Intelligence Services Arrest Journalist Tuver Wundi In Kinshasa

Tuver Wundi, JED’s correspondent in Goma and Provincial Director of RTNC, is being held on the premises of the ANR in Kinshasa.

Concerned Journaliste en Danger (JED) reports that its correspondent in Goma and Provincial Director of the national radio and television station is being held by the Agence Nationale des Renseignements (ANR).

According to an official source contacted by JED, he is “being debriefed by the services”.

Tuver Wundi had been in Kinshasa for several weeks, coming from Goma, the capital of North Kivu province, currently occupied by the AFC/M23 rebels.

The organization recalls that in March 2025, after the capture of Goma by the M23 rebels, Tuver Wundi had already been arrested and detained for several days by the AFC M23 intelligence services.

JED regrets this prolonged deprivation of a journalist’s freedom. “The silence surrounding this arrest only fuels the concern of his family, his colleagues and the entire profession”, stresses JED, which is calling for Tuver Wundi’s swift release or, failing that, for transparent communication on the charges against him.
