Soldiers accused of rape and crimes against humanity sit through a military tribunal in the town of Baraka, Congo. A Congolese court sentenced an army colonel to 20 years in prison in the highest-profile sexual violence case ever tried in this nation, where thousands are brutally raped each year. The February trial held in a torridly hot makeshift courtroom marks the first time a commanding officer has been tried for such a crime.
