Monguya Mbenge v. Zaire was a trial in absentia that took place in 1978–1979, in which Monguya Mbenge, a former governor of the Shaba region in Zaire,[1] was sentenced to death while in exile under political asylum in Belgium for alleged involvement in political plots. The trial was completed without Mbenge ever having been present at trial or being notified of the case, only finding out after the imposition of the death sentence. Mbenge reported that his family members were subjected to arbitrary arrests and detentions by Zairean authorities.[2] The case was considered a violation of human rights by the United Nations Human Rights Committee and a violation of several provisions of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights.[3]
