Payback for DRC
THE HAGUE: The International Criminal Court has awarded symbolic reparations of $250 (R3 100) each to nearly 300 people who lost relatives, property or livestock or suffered psychological harm in a deadly attack on a DRC village in 2003.
Judges also awarded collective reparations in the form of projects covering “housing, support for income-generating activities, education and psychological support” for victims.
The court also set up a viewing site in the town of Bunia in Ituri for people in the region to watch the court hearing. – AP
