Congolese raped Central African women for supporting rebels
An expert in the use of rape as a tool of war today said Congolese soldiers raped Central African women as ``punishment'' for supporting rebels who attempted to overthrow then president Ange-Félix Patassé.
Congolese soldiers raped 67 women in two separate incidents in the east of the Democratic Republic of Congo in early January, the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights said on Tuesday.
