Nearly half the adult population of eastern Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) has faced death threats, suffered beatings or has been enslaved by armed groups according to the survey.

Suliman Baldo, director of ICTJ's Africa Programme and one of four co-authors of the report will discuss the reports findings and implications for international engagement in the country.
