UN
peacekeepers in Central African Republic have been accused of sexually abusing
three young females, including a minor. "A
new series of disturbing allegations of misconduct have recently come to
light," UN spokeswoman Vannina Maestracci told reporters.
BBC reports that the alleged abuse took place in recent weeks in
Bambari city, where troops from the Democratic Republic of Congo are deployed,
she added.
The UN headquarters had
been "immediately informed" of the alleged rapes and "all
available evidence" was being collected, Ms Maestracci added.
