Africa-Press – Malawi. <\/strong><\/span>On Saturday, protests took to the streets of Rio de Janeiro, Sao Paulo and other Brazilian cities protesting the murder of Congolese refugee Mo\u00efse Mugenyi Kabagambe who died on on Jan. 24.<\/b><\/p>\n

Demonstrators gathered on Saturday in Rio de Janeiro, Sao Paulo and other Brazilian cities to protest the killing of a 24-year-old Congolese refugee who was beaten to death on Jan. 24, and which sparked outrage and revulsion across the nation.<\/p>\n

In Rio, they gathered outside the same beach kiosk where Mo\u00efse Mugenyi Kabagambe had recently been working in Barra da Tijuca, a neighborhood known for its upmarket condominiums and shopping malls.<\/p>\n

The two lanes in front of the kiosk were covered with banners featuring images and photos of Mo\u00efse. One sign, held by more than 10 people, beside an image of the dead young man\u2019s face, said \u201cJustice for Mo\u00efse. Stop killing us!\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cMo\u00efse was beaten for 15 minutes, on a busy beach, where people pass by all the time, and at no time did anyone call the police and try to separate them,\u201d said attorney Rodrigo Mondengo, of Brazil\u2019s Bar Association in Rio. \u201cWe have no doubt that if it were a white person there being beaten, someone would go to that person\u2019s rescue.\u201d<\/p>\n

Horrendous crime<\/b><\/p>\n

Kabagambe\u2019s assailants were caught on security camera footage the police have released to the media. It shows three men violently attacking the young man, and over the course of 13 minutes holding him down, beating him with a rod\u2014, and continuing to do so even after he loses consciousness. They are later seen attempting chest compressions, then rolling his body over.<\/p>\n

Police are still investigating the circumstances that prompted Kabagambe\u2019s killing. Many felt no need to await official findings in a city where murder often goes unpunished; they asserted Kabagambe\u2019s death was evidence of racism, xenophobia and impunity.<\/p>\n

Human Rights Watch denounced a \u201cdeplorable\u201d crime in a Feb. 1 statement. \u201cCOWARDICE. SAVAGERY. BARBARITY,\u201d blared the front page of local newspaper Extra\u2019s Feb. 2 front page, along with images of the assault.<\/p>\n

Kabagambe moved to Brazil in 2011 from his native Bunia, capital of Congo\u2019s northeastern Ituri province, in 2011, his cousin Yannick Kamanda confirmed to AP. The country\u2019s east has been mired in conflict for decades, and local media reports said the family had fled fighting between the Hema and Lendu ethnic groups.<\/p>\n

\u201cMo\u00efse\u2019s mother fled with her children from Congo to Brazil fearing they would die the same way as her mother, or disappear the same way as Mo\u00efse\u2019s father<\/b><\/p>\n

,\u201d said Rio state lawmaker Dani Monteiro, who heads the state legislature\u2019s human rights commission and met with the family.<\/p>\n
