At least 150 female inmates raped and burned to death during DRC jailbreak

During a jailbreak at Munzenze prison in Goma, male inmates assaulted and killed female prisoners, with between 165 and 167 women attacked and most perishing in a fire. A UN spokesperson reported that only 9 to 13 women survived, though exact numbers remain unclear. The escape, orchestrated on January 27, saw some male inmates killed by guards. The assault and fire deliberately targeted the female wing, marking this as the most horrific atrocity linked to the ongoing M23 rebel conflict.
