The M23 group rejected Amnesty International reports accusing them of the massacre, rape, and other charges in the democratic republic of Congo (DRC).
Amnesty International accused the M23 rebels of raping at least 66 women and girls in a series of attacks in November 2022 in the town of Kishishe, about 100 km north of Goma, the capital of North Kivu province eastern DRC.
In November 2022, the Congolese government claimed that the M23 killed 272 civilians in Kishishe and Bambo, two villages in North Kivu, eastern DRC while the UN has reveals different figures, saying that the rebels killed 171 civilians in these two villages.
