Jamaat-e-Ahmadiyya Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) had the opportunity to serve 650 prisoners in the central jail of Kananga, in Kasai Region.

The Jamaat delegation, in collaboration with Humanity First DRC, visited the jail on 19 September 2020.

The prisoners were not being served sufficiently for three weeks. Due to this alarming situation, the provincial advisor for justice contacted the provincial missionary, Rameez Ahmad Mahmood Sahib for help.

According to the guidelines sent by the President of Humanity First Congo and Amir Jamaat, Khalid Mahmood Sahib, a programme was prepared for the jail visit.
