Content_paragraphs:  Between March and April, MONUSCO documented 1,084 human rights violations 
  
  and abuses, which is a 5 per cent decrease compared with the previous reporting 
  
  period. More than 90 per cent of the documented violations were committed in 
  
  conflict-affected provinces. Most were documented in Masisi, Beni and Rutshuru 
  
  territories of North Kivu; Irumu, Djugu and Mambasa territories of Ituri; and Uvira, 
  
  Fizi and Shabunda territories of South Kivu. Armed groups, especially Nyatura, ADF 
  
  and FDLR, perpetrated 54 per cent of the violations. These included a high number 
  
  of abductions and other violations of the right to liberty and security of person, 
  
  involving 445 victims (368 men, 55 women and 22 children), as well as violations of 
  
  the right to physical integrity, involving 302 victims (192 men, 97 women and 
  
  13 children). State agents were responsible for 46 per cent of the violations, 
  
  particularly of the right to liberty and security of person, involving 398 victims 
  
  (334 men, 36 women and 28 children), and the right to physical integrity, involving 
  
  300 victims (154 men, 103 women and 43 children). At least 394 people, including 
  
  84 women and 37 children, were victims of extrajudicial and summary killings, which 
  
  is similar to the previous reporting period. Violations related to democratic space 
  
  increased by 19 per cent, owing to a rise in violations of the right to physical integrity 
  
  and freedom of peaceful assembly.
