A/HRC/40/CRP.1 The soldiers threatened to kill the men. 1253 One soldier, speaking Arabic, told a witness that “the government belonged to the Dinka and no one would ask about us if they killed us.” 1254 The soldiers searched the compound for weapons and found a very small number. 1255 A number of the men were detained and beaten by the soldiers with the butts of their rifles and sticks.1256 The Commission’s Forensic Physician was able to examine two of those beaten and confirmed that their injuries were consistent with their testimony. 1257 A few of the men were taken away by the soldiers for further questioning, and one man described soldiers taking him toward the woods and shooting at him three times but surviving because the bullets missed him.1258 Ten men and boys were ultimately shot and killed.1259 Four, including two students, a watchman, and an IDP were lined up and shot point-blank near the chapel. Three others were killed near the dormitories while a 12-year old boy was shot in his bed and had a stick pushed up his anus. Two others were also killed: an IDP and a watchman for the school, who had been making his morning tea when he was shot. The Commission collected evidence of two rapes by the SPLA soldiers, one of them by two soldiers.1260 Soldiers tried to rape another woman but she managed to escape and multiple witnesses indicated that they believed that more women had been raped during the incident but were too scared to come forward.1261 The Commission’s Forensic Physician was able to examine one of the rape victims and his findings confirm her account. 1262 The soldiers searched the compound and stole cash, phones, computers, mattresses, bicycles and motorcycles and possessions from the IDPs, students and staff, and ransacked the school, including breaking into the school’s safe, which contained the teachers’ salaries.1263 They forced the compound’s inhabitants to kill a bull and cook it for them. 1264 The Commission photographed several rooms in the school’s premises, which show the school’s ransacked premises and bullet holes confirming witnesses’ stories. 1265 The soldiers remained there all day, departing at approximately 19:30 or 20:00, approximately 12 hours after they arrived. As they left, “they were shooting in the air and celebrating in jubilation” and cheering. 1266 1253 Witness 689, ERN 101400-101411, para. 8; Witness 723, ERN 101454-101461, para. 20.
