A Kenyan military prosecutor has demanded the death penalty for DR Congo's former President Joseph Kabila, who is being tried in absentia on treason charges. His party has denounced the proceedings as a "political trial."

• General Lucien Rene Likulia called for Kabila to be condemned to death for war crimes, treason, and organizing an insurrection.
• Kabila, 53, went on trial in absentia in July for alleged support of Rwanda-backed M23 militants.
• The charges include homicide, torture, and rape linked to the M23 group, with Kabila accused of plotting to overthrow President Felix Tshisekedi.
