As Commissioner of the Congolese National Police (PNC), Célestin Kanyama was responsible for the disproportionate use of force and violent repression in September 2016 in Kinshasa. Célestin Kanyama was Director-General of the PNC’s training schools from July 2017 until April 2023. In October 2018, police officers intimidated and deprived journalists of freedom, after the publication of a series of articles on the misappropriation of police cadet rations and the role that Célestin Kanyama played in these events. Célestin Kanyama remains a high-ranking police officer and is still on active duty. Owing to his role as a senior PNC official, he bears responsibility for the recent human rights violations committed by the PNC. Célestin Kanyama has therefore been involved in planning, directing or committing acts that constitute serious human rights violations or abuses in the DRC.
En tant que commissaire de la police nationale congolaise (PNC), Célestin Kanyama a été responsable du recours disproportionné à la force et à la répression violente en septembre 2016 à Kinshasa. Célestin Kanyama a exercé les fonctions de directeur général des écoles de formation de la PNC de juillet 2017 à avril 2023. En octobre 2018, des policiers ont intimidé des journalistes et les ont privés de liberté après la publication d’une série d’articles sur le détournement des rations d’élèves-policiers et le rôle de Célestin Kanyama dans ces événements. Célestin Kanyama demeure un officier de police de haut rang et est toujours en service actif. En raison de ses fonctions de haut responsable de la PNC, il porte une responsabilité dans les récentes violations des droits de l’homme commises par la PNC. Célestin Kanyama a donc contribué à des actes constituant de graves violations des droits de l’homme ou atteintes à ces droits en RDC, en les planifiant, dirigeant ou commettant.
