| 2014-11-08 |
| [An Nahar] A top Congolese military court on Friday sentenced an former rebel leader turned army general to 10 years in jail for war crimes. The court ruled that general Jerome Kakwavu was guilty of committing serious violations including the repeated rapes of two females, two murders and acts of torture on two other people. He had also failed to take "necessary measures" to prevent and stop "war crimes by murder ... committed by men under his command." |
