Tigre rebels kill innocents

 

A report by Amnesty International details serious human rights violations and horrific sexual abuse by Tigre insurgents. The report describes how women were tortured. In a report released on Wednesday, Amnesty International said insurgents deliberately killed dozens of innocent people and gang-raped women and girls in two cities in Ethiopia's Amhara region . The rebels also committed rape of 14-year-old girls. Amnesty International said in the report that fighters of the Tigre People's Liberation Front (TPLF) captured Kobo and Chenna, two cities in the Amhara region in July last year. Later in late August and September, these insurgents carried out a lot of violence there.

Amnesty prepared its report based on interviews with several victims of violence in both regions. The fighters deliberately killed unarmed civilians and sexually abused women to avenge the deaths of their comrades at the hands of the Amhara militia. Amnesty International spoke to 27 people in the Kobo area. Some of them said that their relatives and others were killed by Tigre fighters outside their homes. Others said they had found bodies of local residents. He told that the way the punishment is given, in the same way the shot has been done.
