Independent United Nations human rights experts on Tuesday condemned the M23 armed group for imposing a reign of terror over the territory it controls in the eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo. The experts called for an immediate end to the violence and sexual torture being committed against civilians by the group, which they identified as Rwanda-backed.
The condemnation was part of a broader international news briefing that also highlighted ongoing conflict-related deaths in both Ukraine and Russia, as well as rising criminal activity across Southeast Asia.
