| As
rumors of atrocities in the Congo leaked out, there was growing
concern by other European powers. Popular opinion in Britain
was particularly affected. Missionaries took photographs of
mutilation as a form of punishment for those who did
not want to work.
The
British-based international organization the CRA (Congo Reform
Association) publicized the atrocities of the Congo to the
world, and made it a popular cause.
