The call to release James Kazongo is a call for human rights to be acknowledged and honored.

By supporting the Kazongo family in their demand to release James, we are not demanding the change in any government in the continent of Africa.

James Kazongo and 19 other sons of Congo are on a hunger strike. SJ Dodgson. MJoTA 2013 v6n1 p0417

James Kazongo and the 19 others in prison in Pretoria are preparing to start a hunger strike on Monday.

They believe their human rights have been violated by being arrest on Feb 5 on charges that are extremely serious and ridiculous (gun trafficking and military training camp aimed at overthrowing Congo's president).

They hired a lawyer who has not interviewed any of them but ate the money. And they believe that without defense they will convicted and sent to Congo where they will be shot immediately.

The original reports of their arrest are in South African media, the BBC and NYTimes.

Update May 13: the hunger strike stopped after a few days after the men were permitted to telephone their families.
Release James Kazongo. SJ Dodgson. MJoTA 2013 v6n1 p0331

James Kazongo has been detained in South Africa since early February, less than 3 weeks after he arrived in South Africa on what we have been told by his wife was a short business trip. 

James is family man, father of 3 little boys whom he adores: he has videoed them in school in Delaware, one such video can be linked to below.

Four of us from Philadelphia's African communities brought supplies to the house James shares with his wife Janine, pictured above, because we are concerned about his little boys and his wife.

We stand in solidarity as American citizens and as immigrants with other American citizens who are immigrants. James Kazongo is an American citizen, so is Janine and their 3 little boys.

How many hurdles has James had to jump over in his 55 years on this earth: to get to America, to work as a chef in Philadelphia, to find his Janine in Paris, to start a family, to have a stable quiet life in the suburbs of Delaware?

The charges in court in Pretoria are preposterous. James Kazongo is not a terrorist. He is 55 years old, and has for decades worked as a cook, a chef. He was not training in South Africa with militia. In fact, reports are coming out that no guns were found on any of the 19 sons of Congo arrested with James.
