UK Statement of Reasons:  There are reasonable grounds to conclude that KANYAMA was an 'involved person' given that matters within reg (6)(2) occurred in Kinshasa while he was Kinshasa Police Commissioner and therefore bore responsibility for the human rights violations committed by the PNC. As Kinshasa Police Commissioner (PNC), Celestin KANYAMA was responsible for the disproportionate use of force and violent repression in Kinshasa. In this capacity, Celestin KANYAMA was therefore involved in planning, directing, or committing acts that constitute serious human rights violations and abuses in DRC.

Other Information: Schengen visa No 011518403, issued on 2.7.2016 The Director Disqualification Sanction was imposed on 09/04/2025.
UK Statement of Reasons:  There are reasonable grounds to conclude that KANYAMA was an 'involved person' given that matters within reg (6)(2) occurred in Kinshasa while he was Kinshasa Police Commissioner and therefore bore responsibility for the human rights violations committed by the PNC. As Kinshasa Police Commissioner (PNC), Celestin KANYAMA was responsible for the disproportionate use of force and violent repression in Kinshasa. In this capacity, Celestin KANYAMA was therefore involved in planning, directing, or committing acts that constitute serious human rights violations and abuses in DRC.
