On July 13, the High Military Court in Kinshasa sentenced the Democratic Republic of Congo to pay reparations ranging from USD 500 to USD 25,000 to victims of war crimes committed by the Armed Forces of Congo in Ankoro, northern Katanga, in November 2002 [IJT-16]. The Congolese human rights organization ASADHO says it is "partially satisfied with this decision, in that it has increased the modest sums" accorded by the Katanga Military Court on December 20, 2004.
