WASHINGTON, Nov. 23, 2016 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Members of the media are invited to take part in a Q&A session with Gabon's former Deputy Prime Minister and Attorney General, Dr. Séraphin Moundounga, on the August 2016 presidential election dispute that prompted his resignation and threatens to undo the longstanding legacy of peace in the Central African nation.

When: Monday, November 28, 2016
12:30 p.m. — 2:30 p.m.

Where: The National Press Club, First Amendment Room
529 14th Street, NW, 13th Floor Washington, DC 20045

Who: Dr. Séraphin Moundounga, Former Deputy Prime Minister & Attorney General of Gabon.  

A former high-ranking government official and member of parliament of the ruling Gabonese Democratic Party, Dr. Moundounga abruptly resigned from his cabinet position in the wake of a brutal crackdown on peaceful demonstrators and unprecedented Human rights' violations early September 2016. The protests were sparked by Pres. Ali Bongo's refusal to concede defeat following the August 31, 2016 presidential election. Dr. Moundounga had to flee the country because of an attempt on his life and multiple death threats.

Lunch will be served.
