The Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) suspended the commanding officers of its battalions implicated in mass rapes and other human rights violations in Minova in late November 2012 for further investigation.
The UN Stabilisation Mission in the DRC (MONUSCO) said it had been notified formally of the actions being taken by the Government to hold the perpetrators of serious human rights violations accountable.
Investigations conducted by MONUSCO in Minova and surrounding villages found that two units of the Congolese armed forces (FARDC) engaged in mass rapes and other human violations, and in February the Mission sent a letter to FARDC's chief of staff requesting the formal suspension of support to these units.
The DRC government said it had launched investigations, several arrests had been made and a number of officers allegedly involved in these acts had been suspended and put at the disposal of the Military Prosecutor for the purposes of the investigation.
