Rape in Totos District

In 1984, soldiers entered the district of Totos, detained a community woman and raped her during her detention. In a second detention, she was again raped by a hooded soldier.

When the military entered the district of Totos in 1984, they rounded up the villagers and detained a female declarant. During her detention, she was the victim of rape. On a second occasion, when the captain was changed, she was captured again and taken to the base. On the second day of her detention, a hooded soldier entered her cell at night and raped her. This case illustrates the pattern of sexual violence exercised by members of the armed forces against women detainees in the context of the internal armed conflict.
