"Mr President, today’s debate is focused on the terrible events which have occurred in the east of the DRC, but Member States continue to maintain that it is safe to return Congolese asylum seekers to Kinshasa because the capital is far removed from the insecure areas to the east. Unfortunately, the facts suggest otherwise. For example, of the nine people removed from Teeside in north-east England since 2007 and taken to Kinshasa, seven report that they have been interrogated, imprisoned, sexually abused or tortured. They have either fled the country again or are in hiding. Since the 2006 elections, the EU has invested heavily in supporting good governance in the DRC. It is inconvenient to have to acknowledge that violence is still occurring in Kinshasa, but I ask the Council and the Commission to face up to this reality and to respond to it."@en1
