National Immigration Agency

The National Immigration Agency, ostensibly created for the maintenance and protection of Zaire's borders, actually has a much different purpose. Like the other intelligence agencies, it has its own network of informers, its own secret police, and its own interrogation centers where they can torture and harass to their heart's content and enjoy complete impunity doing so. The National Immigration Agency has a secret special operations force, whose existence is denied by the government, known as Les Hiboux (French: The Owls), so named due to its predilection for nighttime visits. Vast numbers of individuals deemed "subversives" and "counterrevolutionaries" have been abducted by the Owls under cover of darkness; many have never been seen again.
