SIERRA Leonean refugees fleeing intensified fighting in Guinea are being raped, killed and abducted by Revolutionary United Front (RUF) rebels despite a promise of “safe passage,” a rights group said. The US-based Human Rights Watch said RUF rebel attacks “raise serious questions about the so-called safe passage as proposed by the office of the UN High Commissioner for Refugees.” The statement said the rebels “are raping, killing and abducting Sierra Leonean refugees fleeing desperate conditions in refugee camps in Guinea.” – AFP
