notes: Around 11 June 2021, a group of people vandalized a police station and burnt its documents in the city of Buta (Buta, Bas-Uele) to demonstrate against the arrest of civil society leaders by the PNC and demand their immediate liberation. During the event, the PNC fired shots in the air to disperse the group. Reports suggest that the leaders who were arrested had spoken out against the country's fiscal system. [size=no report]
