Fury in Colombia as soldiers admit rape of 12-year-old indigenous girl

Seven soldiers confessed to raping child from the Embera tribe

Outrage has been sparked in Colombia after a 12-year-old girl was gang-raped by seven soldiers from the country's army last weekend.

On Thursday, seven soldiers confessed to raping the child from the indigenous Embera tribe, who went missing from her rural reserve in northern Colombia on Sunday. She was found the next day at a nearby school. News of the horrific crime shocked much of the South American nation, which has long reckoned with violence against indigenous women and girls.
