A military court in Congo has convicted 37 people, including three US citizens, on coup-related charges, sentencing them to death while allowing for appeals.
Defense attorney Richard Bondo argued against the death penalty's application in Congo, raising concerns about inadequate translation for his clients during trial proceedings.
The failed coup attempt, led by Christian Malanga, resulted in six deaths, with the assailant dying after being shot by authorities while broadcasting the attack.
Following the court's ruling, grieving relatives expressed disbelief, particularly for Marcel Malanga, who was reportedly merely following his father during the attempt.
