Giovani Boulingui detained in Tchibanga after public statements on Nyanga construction sites

Neither his party nor his family were informed of the specific reasons for his detention. Boulingui had recently published numerous videos and made public statements regarding the condition of construction sites, public facilities, and the management of projects in the Nyanga province. These activities included highlighting issues with public infrastructure and questioning the exploitation of the Doussiéguoussou marble deposit.

EPG has issued a statement demanding that authorities communicate the precise facts and grounds for his detention, emphasizing that an investigation should establish facts rather than justify an arrest after the fact. The party also called for calm among its members and supporters, while insisting on respect for Boulingui's rights. The article notes that while the timing of his detention immediately follows his critical public activities, there is no current evidence to legally establish these publications as the reason for his custody.
