Congo forces kill 24 since vote results: HRW

KINSHASA, Dec 22 (Reuters): Democratic Republic of Congo security forces have killed 24 people since President Joseph Kabila won a disputed presidential election, Human Rights Watch said Thursday. The rights group said all but four of the victims were killed in the capital Kinshasa, where main opposition rival Etienne Tshisekedi is popular. It said there was evidence security forces had tried to hide the killings. Among the victims, a 21-year-old woman was shot dead and her 8-year-old niece shot in the throat on the day of the election.
