Evariste BOSHAB MABUDJ MA BILENGEPerson

Per UK Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO) (listed 2020-12-31):

UKSL DRC0008 — Measures: Asset freeze, Travel Ban, Director Disqualification Sanction — In his capacity as Vice Prime Minister and Minister of Interior and Security from December 2014 to December 2016, Evariste BOSHAB was officially responsible for the police and security services and coordinating the work of provincial governors. In this capacity, he was responsible for arrests of activists and opposition members, as well as disproportionate use of force, including between September 2016 and December 2016 in response to demonstrations in Kinshasa, which resulted in a large number of civilians being killed or injured by security services. There are reasonable grounds to conclude that BOSHAB was an “involved person” given that matters within reg (6)(2) occurred in Kinshasa while he was Minister of Interior and Security and therefore bore responsibility for the human rights violations committed by the security forces and police he commanded and influenced. It can therefore be inferred that Evariste BOSHAB was involved in planning, directing, or committing acts that constitute serious human rights violations in DRC. (official source)
