Congolese singer Tshala Muana was Tuesday released from police custody following pressure from Joseph Kabila's PPRD party.

The singer was arrested Monday in the capital Kinshasa. This followed last week's release of her song, which was seen as critical of the government of DR Congo President Felix Tshisekedi.
