FNs fredsbevarende mission i Elfenbenskysten oplyser, at 26 blev henrettet i løbet af den seneste måned, oplyser BBC World News torsdag. It says the killings have been carried out principally by armed forces that helped the new President, Alassane Ouattara, take power. Ouattara has been president since April when his forces arrested former President Laurent Gbagbo. The rights representative for the UN mission in Ivory Coast, Guillaume Ngefa, said there had been 26 cases of “extrajudicial execution, summary or arbitrary” and “85 cases of arbitrary arrest and illegal detention”. The UN peacekeeping mission also announced the discovery of eight more mass graves in the Yopougon district of Abidjan, scene of the fiercest fighting during the battle for control of the city.
