Amnesty International reports that fighters from the Democratic Republic of Congo's M23 rebel group killed at least 20 men and raped dozens of women and girls in the country's east in November. The M23 have dismissed the claims.
Following the publication of the Amnesty report this Friday, the M23 militia – which stepped up its offensive in regions near the borders with Rwanda and Uganda last year – dismissed the accusations, saying they were part of a smear campaign.
