UN is concerned that Malian authorities have denied UN human rights investigators access to a village where hundreds of people have been killed. 

The UN Human Rights Office said in a statement that “we are extremely concerned that Malian authorities have still not granted UN human rights investigators access.” 

“Time is of the essence to ensure accountability and prompt, effective justice for victims,” it says, noting that it requested access to the crime scene on April 1. 

During an operation against militants last month, Malian troops and their Russian collaborators are accused of slaughtering civilians.
