A mass trial of 39 soldiers in the Democratic Republic of Congo has ended with two convicted of rape and 13 others cleared. The remaining men were convicted of lesser crimes. Lawyers for the victims called the ruling an "insult". The UN says more than 135 women and girls were raped in Minova after the army entered the town in November 2012. Both the government and rebel groups have used rape as a weapon of war.
Majority claims the outcome is a great disappointment for the victims.
