Reason for listing
(UK Sanctions List Ref):DRC0003. (UK Statement of Reasons):As Former Commander of the anti-riot body Légion Nationale d'Intervention (LENI) of the Congolese National Police (PNC), Ferdinand Ilunga LUYOYO was responsible for disproportionate use of force and violent repression in September 2016 in Kinshasa. In this capacity, Ferdinand Ilunga LUYOYO was therefore involved in planning, directing, or committing acts that constitute serious human rights violations and abuses in DRC. There are reasonable grounds to conclude that LUYOYO was an “involved person” given that matters within reg (6)(2) occurred in Kinshasa while he was in the role outlined above and therefore bore responsibility for the human rights violations committed by the PNC and LENI. (Gender):Male
