Rebels accuse Kabila of rights violations

    NAIROBI
    Rebels of the Rassemblement congolais pour la democratie (RCD) have accused Kabila of human rights violations in Mbuji Mayi, rebel-controlled Goma radio reported on Thursday. The radio, monitored by RNA, said the charge followed the public execution of 11 people in the town on Wednesday. The government said they were criminals and that the execution was meant as a "deterrent". However, the radio said the 11 were "innocent people who were executed for their alleged sympathy to the advancing Congolese rebels".
