Massive violations of human rights are still continuing in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), especially in areas controlled by the country's two main rebel groups - the Rassemblement congolais pour la democratie and the Mouvement pour la liberation du Congo - says the United Nations. A new report by the UN Special Rapporteur probing conditions in the DRC, Iulia Motoc, said that in rebel-held areas, especially in eastern DRC, "no human, civil, political, economic or social rights are observed".
