At least 30 women were kept as prisoners in a dungeonlike structure and gang-raped over several weeks at the border with Congo, then left naked in the bush, the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs said Tuesday. The women were among more than 150 Congolese citizens who had arrived in Bandundu Province in southwestern Congo after being expelled from neighboring Angola. Congolese frequently work as laborers in the mining districts that line the border between the central African nations. An agency spokeswoman said the men in the group were also brutalized. At least three people were killed, including two men and a 27-year-old woman who died after being raped repeatedly.
