You could call it unjust imprisonment and execution but it was not an assassination. From the Free Dictionary:
as·sas·si·nate (ə-săs′ə-nāt′) tr.v. as·sas·si·nat·ed, as·sas·si·nat·ing, as·sas·si·nates 1. To murder (a prominent person) by surprise attack, as for political reasons. 2. To destroy or injure treacherously: assassinate a rival's character.

I would like to make a comment on this section.
After the section on de committee report it states that Ludo de Witte found out about a cable talking about the definitive elimination of Patrice Lumumba by Count Lynden. This order makes it seem like this was new evidence after the committee report in Belgium. This is not the case. They knew about all these cables and afterwards concluded that Belgium did not order the assassination of Lumumba. The cable by Lynden was part of the political elimination of Premier Lumumba. It would be nice if someone added an actual proper link to the committee report. LouisBStevenson ( talk) 12:16, 5 November 2022 (UTC)
This article has the U.S. ‘involvement’ in the execution of Lubumba. Its content describes an aborted assassination, one having nothing to do with the killing. The Church Senate Committee Report on Foreign Assassination attempts includes the sentence: "It does not appear from the evidence that the United States was in any way involved in the killing." This in reference to the killing of Lumumba. That should be made clear.
Maybe this website should not so often work to merit its nickname "Wokepedia" by always skewing articles to the left politically. Sychonic ( talk) 19:03, 10 January 2023 (UTC)
The reference to the alleged white prostitute was added solely to infuriate many readers. Lumumba wanted to repatriate the diamond mines that has been taken by force, to the economic detriment of Belgium and New York. Thus branded a Communist. LoveOfMoney ( talk) 16:19, 7 November 2023 (UTC)
