BBC: DR Congo poll protest: Opposition HQs, including UPDS office, torched
The headquarters of three opposition parties in the Democratic Republic of Congo have been torched in the capital and two charred bodies have been found at one on of them, a BBC reporter says.
The attacks followed Monday's deadly clashes between police and opposition supporters demanding that President Joseph Kabila step down by December.
The office of the main opposition UPDS was among those set ablaze in Kinshasa.
It has warned Mr Kabila that it will be "treasonous" to delay elections.
The polls are due in November, but the opposition fears that the president wants to postpone them in a bid to cling to power.
He has not yet commented on his plans.
