Kathmandu, July 23 (SPA) - Six Nepali soldiers have been jailed for sexual abuse in Congo where they were serving as United Nations peacekeepers, an army officer said on Saturday. Over the past year, the United Nations has probed 150 allegations of sexual abuse, including gang rape of women and girls, against some 50 soldiers of different nationalities in Congo. "Each of the six soldiers has been sentenced to three months in jail after a general court martial found them guilty of sexual abuses," the officer told Reuters. He gave no other details. --SPA 1052 Local Time 0752 GMT www.spa.gov.sa/278540
