Congolese authorities will try at least 75 soldiers on Monday for fleeing the advance of M23 rebels into the eastern province of South Kivu and violence against civilians, including murder and looting, the military prosecutor's office said on Sunday.
The United Nations has reported mass violations, including summary executions, gang rape and sexual slavery, following a major M23 advance in late January that led to the capture of eastern DRC's largest city, Goma.
