UN agencies have documented cases of gang rape and executions by both DRC army troops and M23. Several thousand civilians are dead, including children. But this atrocity stands out even against that backdrop.
Van de Perre, based in Goma with thousands of UN peacekeeping troops, said: “There was a major prison breakout of 4,000 escaped prisoners. A few hundred women were also in that prison.

“They were all raped and then they set fire to the women’s wing. They all died afterwards.”
