| 2005-02-25 |
| The United Nations is investigating a woman's allegations that three UN peacekeepers from Pakistan raped her on a banana plantation, a UN official said on Tuesday. The men claimed the woman was a prostitute. The 23-year-old woman made the report to the police over the weekend, said Damian Onses-Cardona, a spokesman for the 7,400-member UN force. However, he added, the men, whose names were not released, said they paid to have sex with the woman. The three Pakistanis were ordered to return from northern Gonaives, where the incident allegedly occurred, and were asked to stay in the capital of Port-au-Prince until the investigation was concluded this week, said Onses-Cardona, declining to give more details. |
