Serious human rights violations, including extrajudicial killings, rape and torture have happened in the ongoing crisis in Mali since January 2012, says a United Nations report released by the Office of the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights.
The report stresses that women in particular have suffered from harassment, abuses and sexual violence due to accusations of being improperly veiled or dressed, or for riding a motorbike. Other reported human rights violations described in the report include amputations, arbitrary detentions, torture, forced disappearances and the recruitment of child soldiers.
During the same briefing in Geneva, UNHCR spokesperson Melissa Fleming said the agency is estimating there will be an additional displacement of 300,000 inside Mali, while a further 407,000 Malians will flee to neighbouring Burkina Faso, Niger and Mauritania.
