Victims of an alleged mass rape in the Democratic Republic of Congo are waiting to hear if their attackers will be brought to justice.
A military court will be giving its verdict in a case involving dozens of Congolese soldiers accused of raping 130 women and girls in November 2012, in the town of Minova.
Rape is commonly used as a weapon of war and hundreds of thousands of people are raped every year in the country.
