42  “They looked at his identity card and shot him dead” Six months of post-electoral violence in Côte d’Ivoire 12 bodies dressed in an alb (white priests robe), which were found close to the Celestial Christian Church This person said that the bodies had bullet wounds. About 30 bodies were burned inside their homes. Bodies were found side by side, inside houses, in yards, in back streets and along main streets. Amnesty International has obtained information about the way the bodies were buried. Some of them were buried by the Ivorian Red Cross with the help of UNOCI soldiers.27 They piled the bodies on top of each other in communal graves, using a mechanical digger to cover them with earth. The bodies were buried in three communal graves in the town market. Another grave was dug near Guémon bridge. Bodies were also buried in the cemetery and other places. The communal grave dug near Guémon Bridge was on marshy terrain, which could be flooded in the rainy season. None of the measures regarding temporary burial recommended in authoritative standards for the management of dead bodies after disasters28, to ensure that bodies should be recoverable, identifiable to the extent possible and treated with respect, were followed. No measures to identify the bodies were taken and the place and position of each body was not marked. Some bodies were put in plastic bags and others were piled up on top of each other without respecting the recommended distance between bodies. These omissions could seriously impede eventual identification of the human remains buried in these locations. These Guidelines provide that: “Temporary burial sites should be constructed in the following way to help ensure future location and recovery of bodies: - Use individual burials for a small number of bodies and trench burial for larger numbers. - Burial should be around 1.5m deep and at least 200m from drinking water sources (…]. - Leave approximately 0.4m between bodies. - Lay bodies in one layer only (not on top of each other). - Clearly mark each body […] and mark their positions at ground level.”29 4.2.3.2 Massacres and killings in the villages in the Duékoué region The Amnesty International delegation also investigated killings and massacres committed by the FRCI, the Dozos and other armed elements allied to them in several villages near Duékoué, including Dahoua, Delobly, Bahé Bé, Pinhou, Guéibli, Guinglo-Zia, Diéhiba and Diahouin. As a result of these attacks, these villages were often abandoned by communities belonging to the Guéré ethnic group and many people who fled the killings found refuge in the bush where they were chased and in some cases killed. One witness, a resident of Dahoua, told Amnesty International: Amnesty International May 2011 Index: AFR 31/002/2011
