A 14-year-old schoolgirl told the rights group that she and her mother were both raped by TPLF fighters who said the attacks were revenge for atrocities committed against their own families. “One of them raped me in the yard and the other raped my mother inside the house,” she said. There were 20 bodies lying in their underwear and facing the fence and three other bodies inside the school compound. The watchdog said its analysis of satellite images revealed the existence of the new burial sites mentioned by the villagers. Amnesty has previously documented the rape of hundreds of women and girls by Ethiopian and Eritrean soldiers in Tigray.
