“I Escaped Before They Could Kill Me”: Judge Chantale Ramazani Wazuri Breaks Her Silence

This exclusive video interview, released alongside our broader investigation into the sentencing of Moïse Katumbi, features Judge Chantale Ramazani Wazuri speaking from hiding after fleeing what she describes as a politically orchestrated effort to force her into delivering a fabricated conviction. In the interview, recorded while she was in fear for her life, Ramazani details the pressure, threats and high‑level interference she faced from senior actors across the judiciary, executive and legislature. Her testimony — central to the accompanying investigation — exposes the extent to which political power had penetrated the DRC’s justice system, and why she chose escape over participating in an act she believed would destroy the rule of law.
