yei: Abuses included the indiscriminate shelling of civilians, attacks on funerals, looting and burning, according to Brandon Sun. Yei is where The Associated Press late last year witnessed bodies with their hands bound. The investigation released by the U.N. human rights office said those cases and other abuses in Yei between July and January may amount to crimes against humanity. Satellite images showed widespread burning of homes and businesses, the report said. South Sudan government spokesman Ateny Wek Ateny rejected the report's findings, saying the government is operating within the law. The new report pointed out the startling level of impunity in South Sudan that has fed cycles of deadly ethnic violence.
