notes: On 17 June 2020, members of the Union for the Congolese Nation party marched in Goma (Nord-Kivu) to support and claim the innocence of their leader Vital Kamerhe, who was facing 20 years in prison for his alleged role in the embezzlement of more than 50 USD million of public funds. The crowd was quickly dispersed as the police charged and fired tear gas, resulting in 3 demonstrators injured, reportedly beat up by the state forces. The latter was also accused of robbing phones from some demonstrators. 3 men were arrested and released soon after. [size=at least 3]
