Sexual Violence And Massacres In The Central African Republic To Be Investigated
From Prensa Latina:
“Attorney general of the International Criminal Court, Luis Moreno, will visit the Central African Republic to investigate alleged massacres in that nation, UN sources announced.
A United Nations communique indicates the Argentine official will interview victims, representatives of civilian society and the population and will participate in a public dialogue during his visit to Bangui.
Moreno plans meetings with government officials and discuss opinions with representatives of the Criminal Court of that nation that opened offices in May of last year.
The investigation is based on crimes committed during the wave of violence in 2002 and 2003 with a high number of alleged violations and other acts of sexual violence.
Hundreds of terrified women have been victims of sexual violence, the Attorney declared.
He added that he has received accusations of gang rapes, horrifying acts of sexual violence against women, girls, elderly women and, at times, men.
Those responsible, in the Central African Republic or anywhere else, should be aware that they will be accused of these serious crimes under the jurisdiction of the International Criminal Court and will be tried as such, Moreno added.”
