DRC troops to face trial over rape accusations

A trial of 39 soldiers in the Democratic Republic of Congo ends with two convicted of rape and 13 others cleared.

One of the six teenagers accused of gang-raping a 16-year-old girl in Kenya and dumping her in a pit latrine goes on trial.

A UK based charity is warning that rape is being routinely used in state prisons across the Democratic Republic of Congo as a means of torturing women who are politically active.
