soldiers and allied forces burned to the ground the Nahibly IDP camp in July 2012, which
housed around 4,500 people still displaced after the crisis.61 The International
Federation for Human Rights (FIDH) has reported verifying at least six summary
executions by FRCI soldiers and the “disappearance of dozens of displaced persons.”62
FIDH said that there may be up to 13 mass graves linked to the Nahibly attack, including
a well in which six bodies were
found in October 2012.63
