DRC: Human Rights Violations Against Artisanal Miners, Gold and Coltan Trafficking to Rwanda,... a New Amnesty International Report Accusing AFC/M23

A report by Amnesty International reveals that fighters from AFC/M23 have committed serious human rights violations against artisanal miners in Eastern DRC, including summary executions and forced labor. Miners are forced to extract gold and coltan, often under inhumane conditions. The report mentions the execution of 18 miners, some of whom were beaten to death or shot, while minerals are illegally exported to Rwanda.
