"the accused are strongly suspected, as members of the foreign terrorist 6 fdlr, of committing crimes against humanity and war crimes," it said. it added that "fdlr 7 are believed to have killed several hundred 8, 9 numerous women, 10(掠夺,抢劫) and burned 11 villages, forcing villagers from their homes and recruiting(招募,恢复) numerous children as soldiers". '12 crimes' lobby group human rights watch (hrw) has welcomed the arrests. "our research clearly indicates that mr murwanashyaka has a powerful influence over the fdlr militia who have 13 targeted and killed hundreds of civilians in eastern congo and that he is directly linked to the crimes," said hrw dr congo expert anneke van woudenberg. "mr murwanashyaka's arrest on war crimes and crimes against humanity is a welcome step to bringing justice for these brutal crimes," she added. mr murwanashyaka, an ethnic hutu, has lived in germany since before the 1994 genocide in rwanda. he has always denied that his men, believed to number 5-6,000, were involved in the genocide and says they are fighting to bring democracy to rwanda. he was among 15 people whose assets were frozen by the security council in 2005 on suspicion of involvement in war crimes in rwanda or dr congo. the fdlr's presence in eastern dr congo has led to years of fighting in the region, and rwanda's tutsi-dominated government has twice invaded, saying it is trying to wipe them out. some fdlr leaders have been accused of involvement in the rwandan genocide. 点击收听单词发音
