More than 100 female prisoners were raped and then burned alive during a jailbreak in the Congolese city of Goma, according to the UN.
Hundreds of prisoners broke out of Munzenze prison last Monday, after fighters from the M23 rebel group began to take over the city.
Between 165 and 167 women were assaulted by male inmates during the jailbreak, an internal UN document seen by the BBC says.
The report states that most of the women were killed after the inmates set fire to the prison.
The BBC has not been able to verify the reports.

There are few decent countries in Africa - but honestly, when it comes to the very bottom of the barrel, the DRC is pretty much first in line.
The war against boys and men yet its always the little girls and woman who get slaughtered...I keep saying this to remind us all that despite everything this world continues to be very dangerous to women,here in the year 2025.
It is none of our business what happens in the Congo.
It is not a safe place for anyone unless you have a private army.
Years ago, Obama dumped about 100 Congolese refugees in our Midwestern town of 15,000. NOT a good bunch of people. The men were the worst - they expressed an open disdain for white women. Thankfully, most of them moved out of town a few years ago when they heard there were better refugee “benefits” in big cities.
Fulfilling the promise of the words "Democratic Republic", "Congo" and "United Nations"!
OBAMA needs to face prosecution for all those ‘INSERTIONS”, IMO.
Africa wins again.
And of course the media will blame Trump for cutting off USAID.
Par for the course in the Congo’s interminable civil strife.
>> The BBC has not been able to verify the reports
because DOGE cut off their funding...
Proof positive that Western civilization is violent, racist, and brutal.
Free peoples should live free to embrace their cultures and values.
Odd, I’ve heard the mantra ‘all cultures are equal’
Diversity is their strength !!!
Africa doing African things....
Rwanda invaded Congo President Trump called it a very serious situation but did not talk intervention.
Congo has 24 trillion dollars worth of minerals that’s what the fight is about minerals for things like smartphones.
South Africa, now an enemy of the United States, did get beat up 13 of their soldiers in a ‘peacekeeping force’ killed.
South Africa is friendly to the Palestinian cause and prosecuting Israel at the International Criminal Court.
Perhaps Israel prodded Rwanda into doing this with their allies the “M23” group.
Send the Congo a few billion dollars of USAID money.
That will solve all of their problems according
to the Democrats. Oh and they need more LGBTQ...blah
blah, blah lessons too.
Joseph Conrad, please call in. the “Heart of Darkness” is at it again.
