Content_paragraphs:  Between July and October, the United Nations Joint Human Rights Office 
  
  documented 76 deaths in custody (74 men, 1 woman and 1 child) , caused mainly by 
  
  the conditions of detention, in particular the lack of food and access to appropriate 
  
  health care. In addition to the Beni mass prison escape, the lack of security in prisons 
  
  was illustrated by the mutiny in the prison of Lubumbashi between 25 and 
  
  28 September, during which at least 4 prisoners escaped, 3 were shot dead and 18 
  
  wounded by security and defence forces. Some 50 women detainees were also 
  
  rounded up in a courtyard and at least 21 of them were gang raped. The Human Rights 
  
  Office engaged with national judicial and administrative authorities to address the 
  
  situation at the prison, especially of women detainees. Civil justice authorities opened 
  
  an investigation into the mass rape of women detainees, and another investigation

  20-15795 6/17 
  
   
  
  into the escape, mutiny and use of force by defence and security forces was opened 
  
  by military justice. Women detainees received medical and psychological support by 
  
  a local non-governmental organization (NGO), with the support of the United Nations 
  
  Children’s Fund.
