schema:articleBody	UN experts expressed concern on Wednesday over reports of "grave human rights abuses" by Russian mercenaries in the Central African Republic, where they have supported the embattled government's military. "The experts have received, and continue to receive, reports of grave human rights abuses and violations of international humanitarian law, attributable to the private military personnel operating jointly with CAR's armed forces and in some instances UN peacekeepers," a statement said, naming Russian companies. The alleged abuses include mass summary executions, arbitrary detentions, torture, forced disappearances, forced displacement of civilians, indiscriminate targeting of civilian facilities and attacks on humanitarian workers. Rebels have been in retreat in the conflict-hit country since a January 13 attack on the capital Bangui was thwarted. Government forces have been bolstered by a 12,000-strong UN peacekeeping force as well as hundreds of Russian and Rwandan paramilitaries and soldiers deployed in late December. The UN experts said they were "deeply disturbed by the interconnected roles of Sewa Security Services, Russian-owned Lobaye Invest SARLU, and a Russian-based organisation popularly known as the Wagner Group." They spoke of concerns over their connection "to a series of violent attacks that have occurred since the presidential elections" on December 27. They also said they were "disturbed to learn of the proximity and interoperability between those contractors" and the UN force. Russia has denied Wagner paramilitaries have been deployed to the country, saying only military instructors have been sent to train Central African Republic soldiers. bur-amt/mjs/jj
